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. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Esperanza Cepeda, reformed ride-or-die chick, sees love doesn't concur all while she struggles to tow the line after her recent incarceration. As she sees herself moving ahead step-by-step, the pull of her ex, Jesus, lures her two steps back into the life that landed her in prison from jump street.
Dulce wants to show her sister, Espe, that they can rise above the environment in which they live, but past actions continue to haunt her future. Ending the cycle of abuse that women in her family attract by avoiding Xavier, her abusive ex-boyfriend strengthens her resolve.
The bond of sisterhood holds Esperanza and Dulce strong against the obstacles the controlling men from their past use to attempt to keep them humble. Knowing tomorrow can be better than yesterday, Espe and Dulce work together to escape the shackles of their past.
Don't judge the book by its cover. Picture Me Rolling is more than you expect if you are only looking for only the Bling-Bling drama. You will face the reality around you and see the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow. Black Artemis did an excellent job showing that the rise above adversity is possible. The emotions felt while you're reading will make you hate the fact that the last page came so soon.
