Forced to become the head of her household, she has to trade her paintbrush in for a switchblade, and her love of art into a love affair with the hood. Lying, stealing, and turning tricks, Begonia will do any and everything she can to protect her sisters from the ugliness of the world. However, it just isn't enough. When her younger sister Violet, desperate to escape the hell her life has become, is seduced by an up-and-coming Corner boy, and their baby sister Daisy is riddled with disease that could be fatal if not cared for, Begonia is caught between the hard knocks of the streets and the nightmare of her home life"--Back cover. 650 0 $a African American teenage girls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Street life $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Urban fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240529010115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC68C5C61D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
