Summary:
"
Christmas
in the
Hood
presents fresh talent alongside shining stars such as K. Elliott and Seth 'Soul Man' Ferranti--all writing gritty tales that reveal what the holidays bring for the naughty and the nice who live by the code of the
street
. In 'Secret Santa,' after her children’s
Christmas
presents are stolen, a woman has to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to give them the holiday they deserve; in 'Me and Grandma,' a senior sleighs more crack than candy canes to bring
Christmas
cheer to her needy grandkids; and in 'Holiday Hell,' Noelle must raise $23,000 to repay a loan shark or her sister will become a ghost of
Christmas
past. True to the streets and true to the season, these stories will raise the holiday spirit in the heart of even the most ghetto-hardened gangsta."--From publisher.
