Actually Prayed...

I really enjoyed this book. It's a great read. A favorite for me. I was reading on the train one day and got sooo caught up in the book that I almost missed my stop! lol, this book also made me do something that I've never done before, which was pray for the character. That's how real the words become. You truly fall in love with Silver and her plight, that you want to root for her with everything... including prayers & tears ; ), well maybe just the prayers for me. Treasure has created a wonderful world and I'm sure you'll be pleased.


Oh Yeah!! !Great Book!!!!!!!


This was book was exceptionally brillant! The creative way the writer used his words to manipulate my mind and bring me into his world was powerful. Treasure E. Blue has given me a new outlook on the way I view society today. It's taught me to always be thankful for what I have and not for what I don't have. In life we have many challenges, and this book has made me realize that I'm not the only person facing obstacles. Thanks much! Now, if only I could get my uncle to write as good as you (Smile)

A Book Worth Reading A+++++++++

For me, after reading a book the reminants generally lasts a few days. However, with Harlem Girl Lost by Treasure E. Blue these reminants have lasted for several weeks now. Generally, I do not provide feedback on a book; but, in this case an exception has been made! I was able to relate to some of the characters in the book; which bought me back to the days of growing up in Harlem. Sometimes you think you could escape the past, but reading a fantastic book such as this makes one realize we all have made mistakes. This book has been an inspiration to me and provided me with one of those "ah haa" moments. I have recently started a mini book club with a few friends. Our first book, you guessed it...Harlem Girl Lost!!! I wished I had a read a book such as this many years ago, but as they say better late than never. I simply wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you for writing such a great book!!! Of course, I am now reading "A Street Girl Named Desire". Shhh, don't let my club know. At any rate, this book is worth the reading, I can't wait for the next one, or better yet a movie. Please continue to write, we need more writers like you. Best Wishes :)

?A true urban novel filled with vivid images of the street.?
?Black Issues Book Review


Treasure E. Blue, street lit?s hottest newcomer, crafts characters that fly off the page and a story that burns with intensity. Set in Harlem, this searing novel is a poignant and gritty portrait of urban survival of the ghetto?s fittest . . . and most fierce.

Silver Jones knows just how cruel life can be. Her mother was chewed up and spit out by its dark side?brutally murdered while turning a trick. Rather than live with her abusive grandmother, Silver runs away.

Determined to escape the mean streets, Silver longs for an education. But after running into an old friend, a homeless youth named Chance whom she?d taken under her wing once upon a time, Silver puts her dreams of college on hold. Chance is grown now?and he?s a powerful drug overlord. But underneath the cool exterior is the same innocent boy Silver once loved.

As they begin an affair, Silver tries to convince Chance to give up the lethal way of life that ruined both their childhoods. But Chance knows that walking away from the game means having to pay a deadly price. Silver won?t take no for an answer?even if it means delving into a seedy underworld and outscheming some of its most vicious drug-dealers and cold-blooded murderers.

?Even in Blue?s world of double-crossing, misogyny, drugs and brutality, an against-all-odds fairy tale can come true.?
?Publishers Weekly
