D. Washington presents audiences with a look into the tumultuous yet intriguing past of "Choc," living in a predominately black neighborhood in Texas. In her first novel, inspired by true events, Washington transports readers into a world of caramel brothas, back-stabbing sistas, and a whirlwind of dramas that will keep readers compelled from beginning to end. Told through a chronicle of lovers and friends, Hood Southern Belle is a trip through memory-lane for some, but an unbelievably entertaining and shocking story for all.
