To become successful whiling climbing through Chicago's mishaps as a teen is challenging, but possible and the Author tells you how she survived Chicago streets starting from her dysfunctional family. Life is about choices." Girl, you ain't gonna make it, so they said" means more then telling my lifestory. Please, do not tell your family business without a purpose. This book represents 1) every female that was told because they had kids at a young age, that they wasn't gonna make it 2) every high school dropout who said you wasn't gonna make it because you didn't finish high school and exceeded their expectation 3) remember that dream that everyone kept saying " you wasnt gonna make it?" Praise God we didn't listen right? This book is not to tell my lifestory. This book is to tell you that i been through stuff too and they told me that i wasn't gonna make it too. But look at each one of us. Striving! This book is for us.
