Love Don't Live Here No More Book One of Doggy Tales

This is the dramatic story of a young man with a passion for rapping and making music, hip-hop style, but who survives the mean streets of Southern California by dealing drugs. His father is out of the picture, but he has a loving mum who raised him, a posse of friends, and a girlfriend who encourages him to pursue his passion and leave the life of street hustling behind. With her encouragement, he does pursue his dream and ultimately achieves it. He earns a record deal and rises to stardom, but achieving his goal does not mean that trouble and struggle are behind him. Indeed, he soon discovers that the omnous temptations of the street are replaced by the temptations of stardom.
