Raggedy Ann

By Teresa D. Patterson

Annie Mitchell was born behind a dumpster, the offspring of a crack head mother and a small time pimp. She was left to die on a cold December night, but God--or the devil--had other plans for her.
At age sixteen, Ann runs away from her foster family after stabbing her foster father in the groin with a steel meat skewer. On the streets, she survives by stealing whatever she needs and living in abandoned buildings. When she meets an older, street hustler named Dimples, her life changes. She thinks that she's in love with him and wants to give him her most precious gift—her virginity. Ann's dream of having a happy home and unconditional love quickly fades when a startling secret is revealed.

On the streets, she survives by stealing whatever she needs and living in abandoned buildings. When she meets an older, street hustler named Dimples, her life changes. She thinks that she's in love with him and wants to give him her most precious gift—her virginity. Ann's dream of having a happy home and unconditional love quickly fades when a startling secret is revealed.
