Stealing Candy is one of those books that really makes you think. It is fiction, but yet everything about it is all too real. Allison Hobbs did a great job depicting what teen prostitution is like in America, the America that most of us will never see. These poor girls go through horrible abuse being trafficked by a psychotic pimp, and he will stop at nothing to keep them working and keep them under his watch. This book is raw, gritty and graphic. Saleema is an amazing character and she really holds the whole book together for me. There needed to be that small ray of sunshine to keep everything going amidst all the darkness. Excellent urban read with great writing and editing. Strebor Books never disappoints!
