A Street Girl Named Desire

Bestselling author Treasure E. Blue returns with a gritty against-all-odds urban fairy tale set in the same unforgiving neighborhood as that of his breakout debut novel Harlem Girl Lost.
Desire was born on the streets of Harlem literally. Her mom, a crack-addicted prostitute, delivered her on a bitter winter s night after turning a trick and being brutally beaten by the john. Taken from her mother by the state, Desire grows up unwelcoming foster homes, until a local Good Samaritan takes her in. With Miss Hattie Mae s love and Christian guidance, Desire gains confidence, joins the church choir, and discovers that she s got a set of pipes which soon attract the attention of hip-hop s biggest exec.
But the road to superstardom is paved with dangers and temptations: drugged-out, violent rappers, untrustworthy pro athletes promising romance, and vicious drugs. Despite her phenomenal success and Miss Hattie Mae s kindness, Desire seems destined for a fall from the top that will slam her back onto the pavement where her mama left her until an unexpected angel picks her back up. . . ."
