Overview

Life hasn’t been easy for Babygirl. She’s seen and done her share of dirt. Raised by an overprotective mother, who was willing to go to no ends – including kill or be killed – for her precious daughter. Babygirl developed the attitude that what she wants, she gets. Dancing in strip clubs, leading the rich to her love nest and then crying rape to running credit card and money scams, Babygirl is making things happen by any means necessary.
While the streets have hardened Babygirl, underneath that tough exterior, the hustler/striper/scam artist really wants to make a change. But by the time she figures out how to make that happen, Babygirl will see getting out of the game isn’t easy. Especially when you’ve crossed the notorious drug dealing family, the St. Louis Black Mafia and the ice-cold, ex-cop, strip club owner, Stevie Brown. Between Uncle Shabazz a heroine addict wanna-be black scam artist and Uncle Ben a drunk street psychologist and a host of colorful characters Babygirl comes to realize that getting money doesn’t mean anything if you can’t use it to help the less fortunate.

Editorial Reviews

Professor M Fiction book of the year is an understatement!!
would have never took a second look at this book if two of my students wouldn't have sparked a debate on prolific literature and words thrown together on pages and binded into a book. The way my students described Baby Girl sparked my interest enough to purchase the book. I read it in one sitting and I was awed. This book is not Street Fiction, it is a literary work of art. The author creatively weaves a realistic and oft times hillarious tale that encompasses reverse racism, religion, the homel

I read a lot of urban literature and this book is by far one of the best books i have read, once i picked it up i could not put it down and i finished reading it in less than 24 hours... I loved the different characters in the book and how they were so real.. I liked how everything was not what it seemed and how the story had different twists in it.. Jihad is a very talented writer and anyone that buys this book will not be disappointed... I look forward to reading Jihad's next book.

I like the last reviewer don't read this type of genre. I grew up in the life the writer speaks about. I don't want to relive it, but my little sister wouldn't stop talking about this BabyGirl so I picked her book up while waiting for next top model to come on and I missed my favorite show. I couldn't put it down, the characters were so vibrant. I mean I cried when momma died. OOPS. Shabazz was a real fool I had me cracking up, and BabyGirl and her girls were too much. I highly recommend Baby Gi

I read Jihad's first book Street Life and fell in love with it. But he took sh&*% to a whole other level with Babygirl. Trina or Eve, should play the role of Baby Girl, Morgan freeman should be Uncle Ben, Owen Wilson should play Shabazz, Cameron Diaz should play Snow, Lisa Raye should play the role of Madness. I guess you can tell I loved this book and I don't even read these type of books.
Lynette Jackson WHAT THE!!!
Baby Girl is like the grown up Coldest Winter Ever. She is so real. I live in Long Beach, grew up in South Central so I know real and Baby Girl is the truth. At first I was like real confused reading the prologue but once the first chapter began the story took off. The author had a whole lot going on with Shabazz, Babygirl, and her girl's, but it kept me glued to the pages. I have a headache now because I have been up half the night reading. I had to finish. Every chapter is a cliff hanger. I ca
