Title: Powder
Description: Samantha Underwood, also known as Powder to those who have the misfortune of being her acquaintance, was born to heroin addicted parents. Powder is desperate to find a way beyond the hand she was dealt in life. Growing up as the only white woman in her ghetto, SE Washington, DC neighborhood has had nothing but disadvantages for the lonely, attention-starved vixen. Constantly ridiculed and bullied, Powder has been tormented beyond her limits and is finally forced to serve up her own justice to all who have hurt her. With a cold heart, darkened mind and tainted past, she lashes out against anyone who gets in her way. However, karma has a funny way of breaking through to the surface and dishing out justice of its own. Will Powder make her way out of the hood that has raised her or will she fall victim to her own worse nightmare?--Publisher's description.
