A Hustler's Wife

Reading this book reminded me so much of my teenage years in the very late 80's and early 90's. It was as if Nikki Turner knew about all of my issues, as if she was living as me. I thought this book was very interesting. I thought the story of young Yarnie meeting Des was lovely. I once loved a man like Des and it brings back so many memories, some really great memories of the times we shared. Also other memories of the times that I shared with guys like Benji, terrible memories that I hate to think about. Yarnie had to learn just like the rest of us learned. The street life was not all that it was cracked up to be. She finally realized that without GOD in her life, no good thing would last but with GOD everything great was hers. This book was sweet at times and very hurtful at other times.I loved this book and I recommend it to everyone that is considering getting caught up in the game or has been a victim of it. Trust me, none of the money is worth it. I think GOD I was forturnate to get out without any serious problems, such as being addicted to drugs or going to prision. I loved this book and it encouraged me to keep pressing on!

Nikki Turner is an excellent writer. A Hustler's Wife is not your "typical street fiction" book. It is more than that. Nikki introduced several character and some how managed to complete each of their story lines from the beginning to the end. Each time you thought that you had the story figured out a new twist would occur which made you want to read more and more. She used several strong MALE and FEMALE characters. The use of promoting education regardless of your situation was excellent. The best feature was the underline religious aspect. The main character went through several situations, but in the end she was connected to her spirituality and all of her "street ways" came around for good. It was very well written! Our Book Club (A Sistah's Expression) recently had a phone discussion with Nikki and we enjoyed her personality as much as we enjoyed reading her book. Kudos to Nikki Turner!

I believe that this book is a wonderful eye opener for young and older woman who fall victim to the game and to love.Yarni teaches you that even though she strayed some of the time that she still had goals for herself and she always flipped the situation around so that she would come out of it with what she wanted but she still learned a valuable lesson.For her to be that young and that street smart was amazing.Most young girls at her age would have gave up...But she was a determined young lady.I beleive that Nikki put her heart and soul into this book and I am very proud of her. The thing I loved about Yarni the most was her faith in the Lord.It was remarkable.Yarni's Mom instilled wonderful values in her.Last Thing....I loved how the chapters where name it was wonderful.Good luck on the Next book Nikki.I look forward to it.
