Blackstone Audiobooks 9781538530276 Coldhearted and Crazy Audiobook

When their parents are discovered brutally murdered in a ditch, Kenya and London are left orphaned and forced to navigate the unforgiving streets of Detroit. They might be identical twins, but they are as different as night and day. While one of them fights relentlessly to make it out of the ghetto, the other eagerly embraces true hood life and everything their parents believed in'selling drugs, living fast, and even dying young (if it means getting paid!) Kenya is coldhearted and crazy, just like her Pops. Nothing is off limits, and no one else matter'snot even her sister, if she gets in her way. Blood may be thicker than water, but in one sister's eyes, cash is king'her only true family, and most definitely the head of her conniving household.
