When Gucci Came First

Told in the first person, 'Jones', sets the table with inconceivable sexual delicacies and street schemes. From the projects to the penthouse this nail biting narrative is raw, real and emotional. Jones' childhood sexual abuse by babysitters, physical abuse and emotional abandonment, may be the reason for her actions, but her power is evident in her ability to recognize the reasons behind even as she commits the often self-demeaning acts. When Gucci Came First is the first in the Kalico Jones trilogy, meant to educate and entertain on the restless consequences paid by a young, feisty, gold-digger, who learns the hard way that glitter laden exterior offerings and ulterior motives come with a very high price. By the time the reader turns the last page, they have in fact been edu-tained on the ways of the subtle seduction of the streets and the deceptive devils that grace them. Kalico Jones candidly recounts trials, tribulations, obstacles, pitfalls, and personal growth. From the first page, she connects with the reader by using an inviting conversational dialogue that flows smoothly, laying the foundation for a wild journey with a suprise ending that will make you rejoice with her and breathe a sign of much-needed relief. You will almost feel as if you are snooping in a private journal that is kept under lock and key and hidden in a bottom dresser drawer. The character's innermost thoughts are frank and uncensored, as Kalico tells the type of secrets most of us will take to our graves...deep, hurtful, frightening tales that will bring you to tears and add to your understanding of human frailty.When Gucci Came First, with ISBN 9780975308202 and ISBN 0975308203.
