'Let That Be The Reason' is the debut novel from Vickie M. Stringer, founder of Triple Crown Publications. Vickie Stringer is where I aspire to be one day. A self published author turned millionairess. I had to read this book to see what was so special about it that it put her and her company on the map.
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.
This book was very good. I read it in two days. The fact that this book is based on Vickie's real life made it that more interesting. I loved how the story showed what a woman will do when her back is up against the wall. She took her hustle as far as it could go and she made major moves. I love that about Pam.
I definitely recommend this book for those that love a good hood story without all the BS and shock value stuff authors put in stories. Sometimes I feel like every book I read tells the same story. 'Let That Be The Reason' is a good break from the norm.
