Description
A vivid tale of survival, friendship, tragedy, and ultimate redemption on the streets Mugwump, Whiteboy Paul, Truitt, and Willmon Angel are tragic outcasts plunged into a world of shifting morality, sexual exploration, and the stinging reality of racism. An illicit relationship with a high school English teacher, a tragic altercation with the police, and a youthful indiscretion force them each to confront hard truths that alter their lives forever. When the violent murder of a friend tears their tight clique apart, the friends do not see each other for years. Now, reunited and facing the consequences of their actions long ago, they hatch a plan to exact revenge on the murderer. Bold literary voice Nane Quartay captures thoughtful social commentary in a fast-paced narrative that reveals how the bonds of friendship can empower people to overcome all obstacles.

Browse Inside Come Get Some"Spellbinding. Nane has writen a sexy story that left me wanting -- no, strike that -- needing more. I loved every twist and turn, even the parts that made me want to cry. Great job, I loved it."
-- Tina Brooks McKinney, author of Lawd, Mo' Drama, Fool, Stop Trippin', All That Drama
"An absorbing and poignant tale that interweaves the lives of these characters. The voices rhythmically alternate between first and third person echoing social injustices from the past to modern times."
-- Allison Hobbs, author of The Climax, A Bona Fide Gold Digger, Double Dippin' on The Badness
