A GHETTO LOVE STORY Just because a person is a crack smoker doesn't mean they have to be treated like "Pookie" from New Jack City. With that fact in mind, A Ghetto Love Story makes sure that OG Black responds to the slightest hint of disrespect with extreme violence. By living this way he manages to maintain a comfortable existence on the streets of Seattle as a small time drug hustler. That is until his 18-year-old daughter (who has been in foster care since she was a child) forces herself into his life with some questions that need to be answered. A Ghetto Love Story is the story of what happens when a young girl raised up in the suburbs gets rudely introduced to the darker side of existence. Not only does Tia go looking for her father at the wrong time (in the middle of a bloody street war), but she also winds up becoming emotionally attached to a young gang leader in a way that will without doubt change her life forever. This book should not be confused with other current Urban/Street Lit books on the market. A Ghetto Love Story is intended to be a very realistic look into the pain and misery of the African-American street culture. Although the story line contains hard language and extreme violence-which is simply part and parcel of street life-it likewise contains an underlying message of love and hope.

When French troops occupy the Italian port city of Ancona, freeing the city’s Jews from their repressive ghetto, it unleashes a whirlwind of progressivism and brutal backlash as two very different cultures collide. Mirelle, a young Jewish maiden, must choose between her duty—an arranged marriage to a wealthy Jewish merchant—and her love for a dashing French Catholic soldier. Meanwhile, Francesca, a devout Catholic, must decide if she will honor her marriage vows to an abusive and murderous husband when he enmeshes their family in the theft of a miracle portrait of the Madonna. Set during the turbulent days of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Italian campaign (1796–97), Beyond the Ghetto Gates is both a cautionary tale for our present moment, with its rising tide of anti-Semitism, and a story of hope—a reminder of a time in history when men and women of conflicting faiths were able to reconcile their prejudices in the face of a rapidly changing world.
