A compelling story of desperation and temptation from the bestselling author of Secret Society and Diary of a Mistress. LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER? After her big brother Curtis is gunned down in the streets of Brooklyn, Angel’s family crumbles. Her grief-stricken mother turns to heroin, leaving Angel to care for her younger brother and sister. And no one sees what her mother’s boyfriend does to Angel behind closed doors. Desperate for the food and clothes they need, Angel looks for anything or anyone to help. But at fifteen, her options for legal employment are few. As a last resort, she turns to her brother’s best friend, Antoine, who gets her a job at a strip club. It’s only supposed to be for a while, and Angel is determined she won’t fall victim to the streets like her mother. But the fast life has its temptations—and a magical ability to make you forget. Miasha’s deeply personal bestselling novel rings with authenticity and “sheds a bright light” (Danielle Santiago, #1 bestselling author of Grindin’ and Little Ghetto Girl ) in the dead-end world of addiction.

Producing Women examines the ways femininity is produced through new media. Michele White considers how women are constructed, produce themselves as subjects, form vital production cultures on sites like Etsy, and deploy technological processes to reshape their identities and digital characteristics. She studies the means through which women market traditional female roles, are viewed, and produce and restructure their gendered, raced, eroticized, and sexual identities. Incorporating a range of examples across numerous forms of media—including trash the dress wedding photography, Internet how-to instructions about zombie walk brides, nail polish blogging, DIY crafting, and reborn doll production—Producing Women elucidates women’s production cultures online, and the ways that individuals can critically study and engage with these practices.

I lost my mom in January of 2013. She was my inspiration. She always told us to see the gifts God gave you. She always told us we can do anything we set our minds too. I was inspired through my grief to help others through theirs. I write these poems for people who have lost their loved one in a tragedy or they have just passed on to heaven to return home. They are now our angels watching over us. When I sit and think of a person and how sad they must be or how their heart is breaking so much, it inspires me to write. It lifts their hearts to a peace filled state; their hearts can be light again to enjoy the memory of their lost loved one. They can smile once again, knowing their loved ones are with them always in Gods miracles. He shows us his work in the beauty of the sky and the world in general, all around us. He tries to help us get through our grief by showing how green the grass is or how blue the sky can be. I love you, Mom. I love you, Dad. Thank you for showing me Gods gifts.
