Painful emotions celebrated
-
Knowing that Donald Goines lived most of his life as a career criminal, a large majority of that time in prison, it is remarkable that he was able to muster up the energy and courage to relive much of the pain in his own life through his books. In this one, he relates the struggle and tragedy of a your black girl of the streets, suffocating under the pressures of drugs, prostitution, starvations et al. with the alacrity and emotional expertness of a seasoned writer. This book has more emotion to share than most listeners will be comfortable with. So, be warned. This is truly a gut wrenching story, rendered all the more passionate by the narration of Bahni Turpin. A definite yes on this one.
