    About this ebook

    “Roses in Concrete” tells the story of Hope, a young woman whose life is rough from day one. Growing up without ever knowing her parents, Hope relocates to New York City with dreams of living the life she always imagined. Desperately, Hope struggles to find her freedom, her father, and most importantly her own identity. Hope learns about love, friendship and being a woman. 
    With every obstacle thrown in her way, Hope does her best to survive the dangerous lifestyle she is forced to live. Like a rose growing from a crack in the concrete, Hope gets her share of scratches and bruises but her beauty can still be seen.
