In this hardcore novel of love and betrayal, a female ex-con
moved by the power, poetry, and dangerous passion of Tupac
Shakur has plans to play it straight and do the right thing
for her future survival. But her lover Jesus, the man she
went to prison for on a gun possession charge, is intent on
bringing her back into his game. She finds herself caught
between inescapable yet contradictory forces-the passion for
the streets and the inspiration of her conscience, just like
her idol Pac. With righteous anger to burn, she's got to pull
her life together before it's too late.
