DREAMS OFTEN DIE IN THE PROJECTS
In the first book of a drama-drenched new series, four unforgettable
women will do anything to escape the hood.
From their front stoops at Bentley Manor, longtime residents Miz Osceola
and Miz Cleo have seen just about everything and know all too well that
there's no happily-ever-after in the projects. There's only the desperate
need to get out by any means possible.
Aisha has what every other ghetto girl envies: a loving man who
supplies her with all the fashion, money, and accessories that scream
'hood success.' Now that her husband's in jail, Aisha may have to put
something more precious than her designer gear up for sale in order to
maintain her image. The cost may be too high even for her expensive
tastes.
Devani knows she's found her way out of the hood when she sleeps
with Tyrik, a star pro athlete. When Tyrik's calls get further and further
apart, Devani's mother suggests the perfect scheme: become his baby momma.
Will Devani's plans force her man to commit, or backfire with the worst
of consequences?
Molly is so in love with her husband, Junior, that she doesn't
care if she's the only white girl in the hood. Blinded by her love, Molly
lets everyone walk all over her. But Junior may cross the line, forcing
Molly to give back all the abuse she's taken.
Lexi has five children - and four broke baby daddies. Now she is
married to Luther, Mr. Right in every way but in the bedroom. Determined
to finally provide a good man for her kids, Lexi must struggle to fight
her cravings for sex with her ex. Will she stay faithful to her husband
or give in to a passion that may very well prove deadly?
