REVISED & UPDATED EDITION
A Little Philly Project Chick is a heart-pounding hood love story set in the gritty streets of Philadelphia—one of the best new African American Urban Fiction books for fans of street literature and women’s fiction. In this unforgettable standalone from national bestselling author Yona Pearson, under the Cole Hart Signature, you’ll experience a raw, authentic journey of survival, love, and ambition.
I hate living in this rundown Philly project. My mama can’t handle her responsibilities, my daddy’s been gone my whole life, and my baby daddy stays playing games like he’s not my son’s father. I’m a hood chick at heart, but I refuse to become a product of my environment. The more I try to break free, the harder it gets. Still, I’m searching for a way out—because just because you’re born poor doesn’t mean you have to die poor.
My love life? Non-existent—until Ace, an old friend with a dope boy past, comes back into my world. Everything about him screams trouble, but the way he makes my heart race is undeniable. He’s got that kingpin swagger, and every time I’m near him, I feel things I never knew existed. But loving a thug comes with risks, and when the unthinkable happens, I’m left wondering if I’ll ever escape the streets—or if I’ll be trapped forever.
If you’re looking for a powerful, edge-of-your-seat urban romance that’s more than just a thug love or kingpin savage story, A Little Philly Project Chick delivers. This is street literature at its finest—gritty, real, and full of heart.
