Following in the successful footsteps of its predecessors, Around the Way Girls 6 features three popular Urban Books authors presenting their versions of the tough, street-smart girls that everyone loves. Yana and Kiki had to grow up much too fast, thanks to their mother's drug habit. They've got each other's backs, but even that might not be enough to protect them from the ruthless drug dealer who's got them under his thumb. Connie is tired of struggling to get by, so when a shady corrections officer introduces her to a sure thing, she jumps at the chance. It doesn't take long, though, for her to recognize that her new hustle is bringing more drama than she bargained for. Quiana wants nothing more than to do the right thing. After bearing witness to her mother's heinous murder at the hands of her drug-addicted boyfriend, she is struggling with the ramifications of losing the only person in the world who truly loved her. Around the Way Girls 6 . . . the tradition continues.

There’s a saying that if you come from my part of town, you're from around the way. Urban Books bestsellers Treasure Hernandez and Marcus Weber bring readers a fast-paced look at the lives of some street-smart women who think they know it all. Do they have what it takes to survive on the streets? Caught Between a Good Boy and Bad Boy by Treasure Hernandez: Kiesha Simmons is that girl. She graduated top of her high school class and was captain of her step team. She’s about to start college at Howard University and is presently doing an internship with the top realtor in her city. She's had a good life so far, but there's one thing she has to do before she takes off for college in the fall — and that's lose her virginity. She just has to decided who is going go to be the lucky guy: her boss’s son or the local thug rapper. Lost and Found by Marcus Weber: Maria Santiago is on her way from Albany, New York, to Atlanta, Georgia, when her Greyhound bus stops over for a two-hour layover at the Port Authority in Manhattan. She takes a stroll through the city and accidentally witnesses a drug deal going bad. All the men are killed, and Maria scoops up the briefcase full of drugs and a gun, making her way back to the bus station and back on her bus. Arriving in Atlanta, she finds that her grandmother is about to lose her house, and Maria goes up on a mission selling the drugs to save her family. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies, and finds a love that will last her the rest of her short life.

And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them. And, without her wheelchair, she climbed. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!
