This non-fiction story is about 17-year-old Jewels Odom and 13
other ex-teen prostitutes, drug dealers and gang bangers, a story
that is now still being relived by thousands of girls throughout
our inner cities and towns. There are an estimated 900,000 girls,
ages from 10 and older, nationwide and 20 million worldwide who are
involved in prostitution and sex trafficking, This story gives
Jewels and her 13 "sisters" a pulpit to speak to other lost girls
looking for an escape from what they call "streets of hell." What
separates Jewels from her "street sisters" is her ability to
survive and succeed -- actually going to college to return as a
teacher at "juvie." This true story ends with a mixture of
successes and failures, but as always, Jewels is the one who has
the final say when she tries to connect with Maya Angelou, the
famous poet, to be the graduation speaker.
