Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up the daughter of the neighborhood whore has to be one of the most humiliating experiences that could ever happen to a girl. Being labeled as the girl whose mom sells her body for a living has the potential to ruin a person's life, it's even worse when the life that's being ruined is yours. Constantly degraded by the woman who gave birth to you makes you question your sanity especially when you're growing up in the hood. Vanity, Cruz, and Ronnie are three sisters born and raised in the projects. So one can only imagine how life changes for them once they've finally made up their mind to leave. Vanity, the oldest of the three is also the wildest and the most brazen. From the hood to her college campus Vanity's feign for a new man never seizes. The thrill of hopping from one man's bed to the next gives her an unimaginable high. Although she's built quite the reputation for herself she hasn't always been this way. Once upon a time she was in love, a love so deep even with him locked away behind bars, she still feels it. Unsure of their future and careful not to fall in love again Vanity makes the conscious decision to follow in her mother's whorish footsteps. You would think spending your entire life in the hood around dope boys and hoodrats, would make you a product of your environment, but Cruz is nothing like that. She's the middle sister and the one that hates the hood the most. Having met the man of her dreams, illustrious hustler Vega Santos, she's introduced to the finer things in life, further enhancing her hate for her surroundings even more. Seeing no value or advancement in her past Cruz links up with Vega and never looks back. The irony of Cruz's situation sets in when she realizes the very thing she's running from is the same thing she's running to. Having won the heart of one of the realist thugs in the game proves to be more difficult than she thought.
