Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little Missy had been in bed for weeks with Guillain-Barre syndrome, fatigue, and depression. Her father, frightened for her, asked, "What will make you happy?" Little Missy said, "No one has time to spend with me, hours of time." "If a companion will make you happy, I'll move heaven and earth to find you one." Days later, Sammy knocked, entered, then jumped up on Little Missy's bed. She informed her that she was going to help her walk again. When asked how, she replied, "With miracles, lots and lots of miracles." Little Missy had never met anyone like Sammy before, and before she knew it, she was knee-deep in miracles--the miracles of fresh air, exercise, movement, love, patience, and others. Sammy was so full of joy that she created days that were so much fun that Little Missy had no time for depression. Soon, Little Missy was sitting up in bed, then going outside in a wheelchair, and finally riding her horse, Ebony. But the final glory was when she stood to use parallel bars to take her first steps in months. Mr. Fullington was so grateful that he wanted to do something for Sammy that would be meaningful to her. Little Missy gave him a plan because she knew of Sammy's deep desire to be a veterinarian. They took Sammy to see their vet, who offered her a Saturday job until she graduated from high school, after which she was to have a full scholarship to a veterinarian college. Sammy danced with great joy. Finally, she stopped and hugged Little Missy and whispered, "Can I call you by your name? You're way too old to be a Little Missy."

Her parents do everything to set her up for success in her future. While she’s enjoying life and doing everything she’s supposed to, her ex-boyfriend, Musiq, tries his hardest to sing his way back into her life. It would be easy if someone else didn’t have their eyes on her. Once this stranger comes into her life, it is hard for Musiq to get LoVonna back. LoVonna, being who she is, stays clear of all the guys that seem to mean her no good. That is until someone she has never thought about being in a relationship with, captured her attention. Will she move on with this new man or give in to the lyrics Musiq is spitting? Larisa Suave is LoVonna’s best friend. They go off to college together and explore the world as young adults. Larisa isn’t your average around the way girl. Her mouth is slick, and her attitude can be just like a nigga’s. It’s hard for any guy to get close to her because she’s so hard. That doesn’t take away from her beauty. When a street thug comes at her, she doesn’t hesitate to shut him down, but he stops at nothing to get what he wants and break down the wall she has up. LaVondrius Truman aka Trigga is doing a four-year bid in prison and only has two years left. His right-hand man has been holding the streets down while he’s away. Trigga is the king of the Los Angeles streets. He has more money than he knows what to do with. His girlfriend of two years left for Georgia right after he got sentenced. She left with no goodbyes, leaving Trigga with a bitter taste in his mouth. Once Trigga finally gets released, someone captures his eye, and he will stop at nothing until he gets her. Only his father, who is a street legend, disapproves of the woman, making it harder for Trigga to be with her. Will Trigga go against his father for a woman he’s only known for a short amount of time, or will he let the girl know it’s best if they go their separate ways? Darcel Martin aka Diggy has been holding the streets down while his best friend/brother is away doing a four-year bid. Although Diggy is well respected in the streets, he has his share of problems he deals with. There is one person he has been keeping his eye on because something just doesn’t seem right. Once his boy Trigga touches down and makes it home to pick up where things left off, Darcel puts him on game about what’s going on, but Trigga feels it’s nothing to worry about. Will Darcel’s warning come off as hate because Trigga is back and Diggy wants to continue being the man in the streets, or will Trigga believe his boy and take care of what is needed? Elijah Stokes aka E and Neen Summers have been together for over ten years. E is the only one that Neen has ever been with. When E shows Neen another side of him, she starts to wonder if there is someone else out there for her. The truth must come out. The lies in the streets will surface, exposing hidden secrets. With power comes greed, and with love comes hates. Family will always stick together, but when betrayal is relevant, sometimes family is broken apart. Take this journey with this crew in Lil’ Baby Cuffed a Street King.

She has been sober for months, and her friends want to keep her on the straight and narrow. What could possibly go wrong? About Lady Bag Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up for a whole novel. Lady Bag is perfectly realized (Sara Paretsky). A great read. Lady Bag is a wonderful addition to your line-up of unforgettable women characters. I was deeply involved in her life and situation from page 1. Great dialogue as ever and some gorgeous imagery. It all added up to a book Im sorry to close (Peter Lovesey). Its the sharp writing as much as the unusual setting that makes this book such a joy. Codys dialogue is always funny and full of purpose, and here shes found her perfect protagonista creative mangler of platitudes and uncontrollable shredder of pomp and hypocrisy (Mat Coward, The Morning Star).
