RIM Review of A Dollar Out of Fifteen Cents
by Caroline McGill
Portia is a beautiful stripper. Dont get her wrong Portia is no dummy, she is a math wiz and college graduate with a 4.0 GPA. Portia started stripping while trying to make a dolla outta fifteen cents to pay for college. She meets Jay a man that she loves and motivates her to change. As we all know not everyone wants to see change and there are still consequences for actions...no matter how long ago.
Laila is married to Khalil and together has made a dolla outta fifteen cents but lately Khalil has been distance and Laila doesnt know what to do.
Simone is a hustla and when her married but wealthy boss is willing to her make a dolla outta fifteen cents how can she pass that up. Everything has a price and not everything can be gotton rid of by money...
Fatima has never had to make a dolla outta fifteen cents. Her family is wealthy. Fatima has had her fair share of partners, so when she has to get an AIDS test she is more than terrified.
Ms McGill does a great job with spreading the message about HIV/AIDS while still keeping it street. I recommend this book for teenagers. I have to give this book 5 stars. There is a part 2 and 3. Part 4 is to be coming soon
