A lot of people don't like to read mainly because they think it's boring or they can't relate at all to what is going on in the story. But one summer my mom introduced me to some books that I really got into and would read in only a couple of days. The genre is Urban Fiction and I started to become obessed with reading these books that I began buying them. I also got a lot of my friends and family members into reading them and now it's all they do. But one of my favorite books is called White Lines by Tracy Brown. This book is about 497 pages (don't let the page number scare you, it's a good read...TRUST ME!!!) and was released in 2007. It's about a girl name Jada who left home at the age of sixteen, running from her own demons and the horrors of physical abuse inflicted by her mother's boyfriend. She partied hard, and life seemed good when she was with Born, the neighborhood kingpin whose name was synonymous with money, power, and respect. But all his love couldn't save her from a crack addiction. Jada goes from crack addict and prostitute to survivor and back again before she finds the strength to live for herself and come out on top. This book is truly unforgettable and when you're finished reading this novel, you will just want to check out the rest of the books Tracy Brown wrote.
