DESCRIPTION:
When Meena finds out she’s pregnant, she believes she has everything her heart desires. She quickly determines her daughter is going down an extremely dangerous road. Meena, now seventeen, stubborn and sassy, wants no part of Mama Kakes, neither does she seek reconciliation. At first she doesn’t realize her daughter’s only agenda is to make her suffer. That same road lead her straight to prison. Mama Kakes, a Born again Christian and model prisoner at Muncy State prison is desperately trying to return home to her daughter, Meena. She has been living with her grandparents in the Park Hill Projects of Staten Island New York and has earned quite a reputation for herself with the help from her boosting cousin, Taz and her up- and-coming rapper boyfriend, Pablo. Little does she know some things come with a price! When Meena decides to pay Mama Kakes a visit, her mother believes God has finally answered her prayers. During her visit is when Mama Kakes realizes Meena is not the same sweet innocent little girl she knew way back when. Will her trust in God be enough to protect her only child for what lies ahead?. Mama Kakes knows her faith is about to be tested
"Unexpected treat" according to Thalia. First time reading anything by this author and was pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to reading more the ending has me wanting to know what happens with Meena. Cville MTBer said Typos & Grammar Errors. I wanted to like this book because I thought the characters were believable (which is why I gave it "Typos & Grammar Errors" according to Cville MTBer. I wanted to like this book because I thought the characters were believable (which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1). However the absurd amount of typos and grammar errors just distracted me way too much. At first l excused it because I was reading the Kindle edition of the book and if the conversion process was off then words/spacing can get skewed. But when words for sentences are missing, used incorrectly, or mispelled that causes a distraction for me as a reader and it takes away from the story. I have no doubt that the author is talented but the edito. stars instead of 1). However the absurd amount of typos and grammar errors just distracted me way too much.

Within four pages I wanted to smack Meena, but also hug her and try to guide her to better choices. The growth of the relationship between Meena and Mama Kakes is so tangible it will make your heart ache. At times I was literally speed reading to get to the revelation--somebody has a twin! Someone dies! Somebody gets married!--and I am waiting for part 2 if there is one. If not, this leaves closureno abrupt cliffhanger. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed because I'd love to see more of Meena AND Mama Ka
