Marie James is ready to step up, show up and show off, because she's determined to get what's hers. Though twenty might be young in the green- pastured suburbs of Ohio, the streets of Dayton says she's a grown woman.

Marie was raised in the streets. With two young babies and her sisters to support, Marie has learned how to hustle with what she knows best.

For Marie, men are useful only as protectors and providers. With her beauty, style and juiciness that men crave after the first taste, granting her access to some of the neighborhood's most powerful men.

She knows how to easily persuade them enough to pull in a hundred dollars or more in less than five minutes of her time.

But will her path to become a talented Leading Lady carry her and her family to a better life, or are the stakes of this dangerous game too high? And will her younger daughter, Harmony, end up following in her footsteps?

Some say she truly is her mother's daughter. Spitting image and all.

In this novel, a single mother works hard to take care of her family in the best way she knows how, but the life she leads may endanger her children, leading one of them down an all too familiar but an even more dangerous path.
