Written in prison and based on real-life experiences, the novel that launched the writing and publishing career of the bestselling author of Still Dirty, Dirty Red, and Imagine This..."the reigning queen of urban fiction" (Publishers Weekly). Let That Be the Reason is the novel Vickie M. Stringer wrote when she was still serving her seven-year sentence for drug trafficking. When she couldn't find a publisher, she printed the novel herself and sold it out of the trunk of her car. "I've exposed myself with the prayer that my life can be used as an example to warn other of the awful dangers of the drug Game," she wrote in its Afterword. Let That Be the Reason begins when a drug dealer abandons his girlfriend Pamela Xavier, leaving her with nothing but a stack of bills, an empty refrigerator, and an impending eviction notice. Backed in a corner and with no prospects in sight, Pamela decides to get her hustle on. Transforming herself into Carmen, she learns to deal with the streets, the playas, the drug lords, and of course the law--by any means necessary. In no time, she is running a call-girl service, a fencing operation, and a drug cartel--all while still being a mom. Carmen wants money, but she also wants happiness. The problem is, she doesn't quite understand what real happiness is and what real love means--or what it all costs.Binding Type: Paperback

Too big for puppies
Color: A.Green+Orange
The balls were a bit too big for my 6 month chihuahuas:/ they are as big as a tennis ball so puppies didn’t like nor play with them

Durable, fun, and good for aggressive chewers
Color: grass-green
I have bought this toy for my dog twice now, and the first time I purchased it, it quickly became his favorite. Unfortunately, I lost the first one when some other dogs took it down the street while we were playing outside. It was a bit heartbreaking to lose it, but after about two weeks, we managed to find the old one. However, it was in the middle of the street and had been run over several times, resulting in a broken squeaker. Despite its rough condition, it was clear how much my dog loved that toy. When I bought the new one, I was relieved to see that he doesn’t let it out of his sight at all. We have so much fun together, playing with it by throwing it in lakes, sandy areas, and engaging with other dogs. Even after all this rough play, the new toy is still intact. My dog particularly enjoys the squeaker feature, which adds to his excitement during playtime. He is an aggressive chewer, but this toy has proven to be more durable and has lasted us much longer than most of the other toys we've tried. It has definitely become a staple in our playtime routine!

Great product
Color: grass-green
This is my dogs' new favorite chew toy. They chew them all the time and have held up way better than most other chew toys.
