Bad Girlz
by Shannon Holmes
Description:
The bestselling author of B-More Careful, Shannon Holmes, delivers Bad
Girlz, another wild adventure into the streets. The setting this time
is the Badlands, one of the toughest and poorest communities in
Philadelphia.
Bad Girlz takes you into the mysterious and often dangerous lives of
young women who turn to the streets and strip clubs as a means of
survival. These are girls who, along the way, suffer bad breaks and
find themselves ripe for exploitation by men and women who pretend to
be their saviors.
Tender and Goldie were taken under wing by Kat, a veteran stripper, who
enjoyed the life and the risks she had to take to stay in the mix of
the sex trade. Both of these young and beautiful girls had ended up in
dire straits and in need of Kat's help in different ways, but
ultimately for the same reasons: They lacked the love and support that
most of us expect to get at home and in our communities. Where they
live, illegal money is often the only money to be made, and the
difference between the law and the outlaw is tough to discern.
Holmes tells a page-turning story of sex, money, and murder in the name
of survival and reveals the many ways that good girls, trying to get by
in desperate situations, become Bad Girlz.
