1974.

Mother was so beautiful. Chocolate skin, beautiful hair, and a body that men craved. She learned quickly that great looks could pay the rent, utilities, and food for her children. As long as she could control the exchange, she was fine with it. Men liked pretty young women, and a woman like her needed to supplement her income. Until one day the devil came.

After walking away from marriage and later a military man, Joe came along. He was a smooth-talking pimp who appeared to live the fast life that mother was attracted to. He was surrounded by women who looked good and partied all night. Mother had six children, but she was only twenty-five years old and refused to be tied down. She adapted fast to the sleep all day and party all night lifestyle. It wasn’t long before Joe supplied her with all the cocaine she could manage and before she knew it, she was working all night instead of partying.

With her children in the home, men came and went, satisfied and leaving money on the nightstand. She was good at it and she knew how to leverage her looks. So much that the other pimps and big-dollar drug dealers took notice. She quickly became Joe's bottom bitch, and by Septeber she was addicted and pregnant again. Joe had what he wanted…her trapped, and full access to her children.
