Meet Dream, a young, bright eyed girl growing up in the slums of St. Louis. Unlike most girls in her neighborhood, Dream has the luxury of growing up with something most of her friends don't have, a father. But when tragedy strikes her life at the age of eight, Dream's perfect world comes crashing down around her. Soon, she finds herself thrown into a life of horror and pain. Forced from the only home she's ever known, she learns the hard way that the only thing she has of value is her body and the only way she can survive is to use it. With a vicous pimp on her heels and no where to run, Dream is forced to adapt to a life on the streets in one of the worlds most dangerous cities.
Started off a little slow, I'm on page 163 of 208 pages and it has picked up some now that the main character has stopped crying every other page and decided to seek revenge. I should be done by the end of the train ride home today.
This was a really good book. It had drama and twists I didn't expect. Dream went through so much it was crazy. I was like what more can happen to one person. This is a book I would recommend.
