Woman's Cry
by Vanessa Martir
Ivy League meets the streets in this vivid work of hip-hop fiction. As a senior at prestigious Columbia University and the girlfriend of a drug dealer, India Maldonado is living two seemingly opposite lives. As India tries to gain control over her relationship and navigate cultural and class boundaries, she is drawn down a dangerous path. India quickly learns that every action brings an unexpectedly brutal reaction and realizes that the perilous nature of her decisions could cost her her soul. A smattering of easily-understood Spanish terms and slang add a distinctly Latina flavor.
