Mary's mother was a fierce matriarch a single mom who raised eleven children with the help of welfare checks and a fire arm hidden in her bra. Drugs guns and pregnancies were everyday occurrences but Mary and her siblings took it all in stride spying on the grown - ups playing in the streets and helping to take care of the new babies when they were born. The dubious yet colorful cast of characters that came into their lives (the Jehovah Witnesses the whores the addicts the fathers ) and the never - ending series of hardships (the jail terms the knife fights the mental illness and homicides) couldn t shake the core of the family. This is the story of Mary but even more so it's the story of her mother a uniquely strong and extraordinary woman who was able to survive moments of pain and disappointment by laughing at the comedy of human missteps miscalculations and downright stupidity. This is also a story about race and of poverty and how over time it can wear you down and destroy you because although Mary got out okay her sisters and brothers were not so lucky.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Girlz N The Hood A Memoir Of Mama In South Central Los Angeles\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hill - Wagner Mary\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Regal House Publishing Llc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781646030781\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 207 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Memoirs","brand":"Hill - Wagner Mary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622549659953,"sku":"IN-G-9781646030781","price":15.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781646030781.jpg?v=1724721035","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781646030781-girlz-n-the-hood-a-memoir-of-mama-in-south-central-los-angeles","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
