description: Mama I'm in Love with a Gangsta is two novella's based on real ghetto love. The first of the two novellas is titled Baby Girl McCoy. Baby Girl McCoy just goes to show you that you can take the girl away from the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto away from the girl. She'll always manage to find her way back. Baby Girl McCoy was given the government name Baby Girl by her mother, a woman who hated her so much that she couldn't even bare to give her a name in the hospital after giving birth to her. Born to a single teenage mother and a product of rape, Baby never knows her father. In this urban dilemma, Baby gets caught up in the quest for Daddy, that male figure who she thinks can give her what she lacked from a man growing up. She never imagined in a million years that she would find it in the man that she did. This drama filled novella, of which the pages are covered with everyday pain, heartache and obstacles, isn't just another urban story with a different title. Baby's story is the truth. Can you handle the truth? The second of the two novellas is titled Behind Every Bad Boy. You can take the girl out of the streets, but you can't leave her mean street ways behind her. With a good head on her shoulders and a forgiving heart, some things in life still must be accounted for. Harlem Lee Jones may have allowed her heart to find its way to God, but the devil is surely lurking close behind.
