From literary icon and "Essence" bestselling author of "Imagine
This" and "Dirty Red" comes forth the classic urban novel that
launched Vickie Stringer's wildly successful career -- "Let That Be
the Reason." This is the remix. Based on Stringer's real-life
experiences, this epic tale has changed the face of contemporary
literature and continues to resonate and provide voice to thousands
of urban readers as a cautionary tale of will and redemption.
Pamela Xavier is a young woman left for dead by her drug-dealing
boyfriend, Chino. With stacks of bills, no food in the fridge, and
a baby on the way, Pammy turns to the streets for survival. Her
back against the wall, Pammy relies on her alter ego, Carmen, to
guide her through the male-dominated game and to achieve what she
thinks will buy back her life and her happiness: money. In no time,
Carmen graduates from call-girl service to leader of a major drug
cartel -- all to raise her son so he may never know her same pain
and struggle. But with money on her mind, Carmen soon realizes that
the perilous choices and consequences of the game come at a much
higher cost than she could ever have imagined.
"Let That Be the Reason" in this collector's edition, including
additional chapters and dialogue, is a true-to-life saga of a
woman's love, ambition to survive, forgiveness, and salvation.
