They went from food stamps to fast money overnight... but success has a dark side. Jewel, Daphne, Serena, and Jocelyn aren't your average struggling moms. When a wild idea turns their lives upside down-starting an exotic maid service-they go from broke to booked and busy. But with their new lifestyle comes a wave of personal chaos no one saw coming. They thought getting money was the hard part-but healing, motherhood, and facing their truth? That's the real work. Each woman must confront her own demons: Jewel's hiding an addiction while judging her son for smoking weed. Daphne's daughter might be gay-while Daphne avoids her own identity. Serena can barely connect with her three kids, and now her teenage son may have gotten a girl pregnant. Jocelyn's wild past may be influencing her 12-year-old daughter in dangerous ways. Read now and follow four bold women on their journey from survival to self-discovery. Because being broke is temporary-but sisterhood and self-worth are everything.

Compton changed everything. In Riverdale, I used to be able to walk outside at night without having to worry about anything happening to me. I could walk outside in broad daylight and wouldn't have to worry about drive-by's. I used to be able to come home and be able to rely on a homemade meal made by mother-and my father sitting on the couch with her. But now, everything's changed. My dad dipped out on me and my mom, my mom and I are struggling to make ends meet, and I'm in these streets. Never would I imagined that myself, Egypt, would be out on the streets selling drugs to support myself. But if it helps me support me and my mother, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Now I have responsibilities that I would've never expected, and people depend on me more than ever before. © all rights reserved // livythecreator
