    About this audiobook

    Jada left home at the age of sixteen, running from her own demons and the horrors of physical abuse inflicted by her mother's boyfriend. She partied hard, and life seemed good when she was with Born, the neighborhood kingpin whose name was synonymous with money, power, and respect. But all his love couldn't save her from a crack addiction. Jada goes from crack addict and prostitute to survivor and back again before she finds the strength to live for herself and come out on top. And her stormy romance with one of the fiercest hustlers on the streets makes White Lines one of the most unforgettable urban loves stories of the year.

      I love this book so much . I love how lengthy it is because it gives me the opportunity to see what happened in most parts of the main character’s life . I didn’t have to wonder at the end about anything. I’m completely satisfied. I also loved how you got to get to know each character so well . Great job , currently listening to part 2 !
