Description


Tionna's on-and-off addicted mother has always taught her to get hers by any means necessary. Tionna's heart is cold, but she holds a warm place in it for Duhan, the father of her two sons and her on-again-off-again boyfriend since they were teenagers. Duhan becomes her knight in shining armor until the government turns their dream into a nightmare. With Duhan behind bars and everything she loves seized, she finds herself starting over in the same neighborhood that she swore she'd never return to. With two kids, a man in prison, and no back-up plan, Tionna is once again living by her wits in order to maintain the lifestyle she's become so accustomed to. Back in the thick of things with her best friends Gucci, Boots, and Tracy, she finds herself rediscovering her old life and suddenly begins to wonder if she's really cut out to be a prisoner's wife.

        August 17, 2009
        In his ninth novel, K'Wan (Gangsta
        ; Road Dawgz
        ) continues his popular Hood Rat series, with yet more of what his readers expect: action, murder, betrayal, sex, more action, familiar faces and a few surprises. Readers are first introduced to Tionna, a single mom of two, desperate to recover her footing after her man gets arrested for his involvement in drug and gun dealing. Moving back to her old neighborhood in shame, Tionna devises a plan with her girlfriends—Gucci, Boots and Tracy—to con local record label mogul Don B. Meanwhile, Gucci meets and falls for Animal, a notorious criminal who's on the fence about going legitimate as a rapper. As their pursuits intertwine, Tionna and friends find much to learn about unintended consequences. Quick and entertaining, K'wan's latest captures a small slice of modern urban life with a great degree of credibility and finds in Animal his most conflicted, memorable and likable character yet. Unfortunately, the plot hinges on some implausible (and cheesy) developments, which may try readers' patience.
