A teenage girl in a foster care situation must choose
between loyalty to friends and romantic attachments.
#booktalk
Gem’s rocky home life makes friendships
all the more important, and her new foster care situation allows her to
reconnect with a best friend from elementary school. High school dances, basketball games and
friends, and family life in the foster care system create the backdrop for
Gem’s story, told with Simone’s snappy dialogue and signature urban flair.
Gem is a diamond in the rough, packaged with street grit and wit.
Loyalty to girlfriends must trump Gem's interest in handsome Ny’eem—or will
boyz be allowed in her life after all?
