Ain't No Love

Living in Chicago, a city affectionately known as Chiraq, sometimes you have to become heartless to survive. In Y. Blak Moore's latest young adult novel, we meet Pat and her four children. She has taught them, "ain't no love in these streets", for as long as they can remember.
As her children grow, she watches them become street poisoned, as they transform into a scammer, shooters and someone that'll do anything for money. Her children's future is undecided, as Pat tries to keep them from caring too much, in a place that doesn't care at all.
