Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in the inner city of Chicago is not easy for Star Renee Jones, but neither is dodging the traps her family keeps setting for her. Drugs tear the Jones family apart and leave Star in need of her mother Diamond's love, but Diamond is also in search of love and finds it in the worst places. As Star grows older and experiences a grievous amount of heartbreak and disappointment, she eventually faces a bitter reality-her survival and success depend solely on the strength of her hustle. Star is determined not to follow in the vicious, destructive cycle she constantly encounters, yet her own actions will prove if she can end the madness or continue in the cause of her own moral genocide.
