Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Dria illustrates the experiences, people and places that shaped her view of the world as a young woman. From the grimey streets of New York, to the underworld of Florida and in between, Dria is thrust into a fast-paced world and forced to reconcile the trauma of her past with her current predicament. She takes her readers on a ride through her life from childhood abuse, to hustling in the streets and gives first-hand insight on how young women battle to survive every day in inner cities. With the odds stacked against her, she fights to live a life better than what she was given and shares the lessons she learned along the way.
