In this shocking novel of a young girl alone on the streets, Donald Goines delves into yet another facet of the ghetto experience—the dark, despair-ridden world of a black girl's soul. Sandra took to the streets when she was eight years old and tried to fight off the hunger pangs by shoplifting and moving into the profits of drug pushing. Then she met Chink, and with him she discovered love and affection ... as well as rape and murder.
