More About This Book

Overview

Bestselling author Treasure E. Blue returns with a gritty against-all-odds urban fairy tale set in the same unforgiving neighborhood as that of his breakout debut novel Harlem Girl Lost.

Desire was born on the streets of Harlem–literally. Her mom, a crack-addicted prostitute, delivered her on a bitter winter’s night after turning a trick and being brutally beaten by the john. Taken from her mother by the state, Desire grows up unwelcoming foster homes, until a local Good Samaritan takes her in. With Miss Hattie Mae’s love and Christian guidance, Desire gains confidence, joins the church choir, and discovers that she’s got a set of pipes–which soon attract the attention of hip-hop’s biggest exec.

But the road to superstardom is paved with dangers and temptations: drugged-out, violent rappers, untrustworthy pro athletes promising romance, and vicious drugs. Despite her phenomenal success and Miss Hattie Mae’s kindness, Desire seems destined for a fall from the top that will slam her back onto the pavement where her mama left her–until an unexpected angel picks her back up. . . .

    I really enjoyed this book....

    I was recently introduced to Treasure E Blue and I really enjoy his writing. He produces true page turners. Last night I knew I needed to go to sleep, but I couldn't put this book down until I read the last word. With the way this one ended, I'm not sure if he'll continue this story or if it's the end. Way to go Treasure I'm officially a new fan!!!

    We Fall Down, But We Get Up,

    Desire Evans beat the odds, or did she? Born on the cruel, unforgiving streets of Harlem to an addicted mother, Desire's recovery was nothing short of miraculous. Despite subsequent years of abuse and neglect, she finally found a home with the love, comfort and security she longed for. But when the streets come calling, will Desire answer? A STREET GIRL NAMED DESIRE is the story of one woman's journey of self-discovery. It's an excruciating journey, but one that was essential for growth, for acceptance and for a chance at life. Treasure E. Blue provides an intimate portrait. In spite of its underlying message, A STREET GIRL NAMED DESIRE was an okay read for me. My expectations were high having read HARLEM GIRL LOST. This was entertaining and held my attention but it wasn't a page-turner. I found the ending to be a little too neat for me. That said, there is still no question that Treasure is a talented brother and a star on the rise. I loved the play on the title.
