This is a story of a girl born to LA’s rich and elite. She’s known simply as Baby Girl. After the sudden and tragic murder of her father, Baby Girl and her mother are forced to give up their lives and go on the run. Soon they end up living on the streets among Atlanta’s homeless, where Baby Girl’s mother does whatever she has to do to make sure her daughter wants for nothing. Soon they befriend Shabazz, a white, heroin-addicted scam artist who thinks he is black, and his best friend Ben Franklin, an old scholarly alcoholic that carefully analyzes everything and everyone.

Not long after being on Atlanta’s streets, Baby Girl’s mother is killed. She is now being raised by Shabazz and Ben, learning the intricacies of hustling. Using what she learned from watching her mother, Shabazz, and Ben, Baby Girl’ scandalous, ruthless cunning puts her on top of the world, taking the game to levels you wouldn’t believe. She has it all until another tragic event causes her to take on a new fight. She is a female Robin Hood, robbin’ the rich and givin’ back to the hoods of Atlanta’s homeless and dejected. Eventually she recruits and trains women like her, beautiful in appearance but poisonous to the touch if you get in their path. Baby Girl will make every woman wonder, is it really a man’s world, or is it a woman’s world where men only exist if women let them?

Rhythm is a college student in DC who learns of Moses King, the man who started the Disciples, the largest street gang in Chicago. She reads his court case, and the inconsistencies in his trial transcripts lead her to write him, asking him if he really did kill the black Chicago congressman Perry Homes and rape his wife, Fiona.

It seems unlikely; Moses started the Disciples to make a positive impact on the black community. The Disciples head up book drives, they feed the hungry, and they start free breakfast programs with the Panthers. The letters start to flow back and forth, and Rhythm changes her major to criminal justice and becomes an attorney to fight the system that has incarcerated the man she has fallen in love with.

A former inmate, who is now an assistant stock broker and a part-time gang counselor, details his life on the inner city streets of Atlanta as a notorious drug dealer, vividly recreating his struggle to break the cycle and walk the straight and narrow.
