Publisher's Synopsis
Ice Baby girl Mandy grew up on the rough side of Chicago. She admired the big girls, whose drug-dealing boyfriends draped them in jewelry. She didn't know the heavy price they had to pay right away: the fear, the abuse-mentally and physically. Admiring her girlfriend's diamond ring one day, the nickname 'Ice' was pinned on her almost forever. Mandy was, in fact, a diamond in the rough, coming of age and conforming to a lifestyle which had only a dead end waiting for her. When true love, kindness, and respect embodied by Mark, aka 'prince charming, ' attempts to rescue her from that life, he is met at the altar with gunfire, courtesy of Tyler, Ice's ex-boyfriend from the hood. The fairytale love story struggles to become true life. However, dreams like that don't come true for poor Black girls from the wrong side of the tracks. Or do they? Ice finds out the sour side of having a sugar daddy. Candace Watson takes thrill-seeking readers for the ride of their lives in her newest thriller as she introduces Ice, a young girl whose life is forever altered by the choices she makes. You will experience profound outrage as the author presents some tough social truths in this thought-provoking book. Be prepared for sleep deprivation because this is a real page-turner.
