Consider what it might be like to be a single young female with only enough money to buy a house in a dangerous neighborhood. Imagine what it is like to have a job but never quite make enough to take the chance on a modest loan for a decent car or a safe home. How does one survive in this dangerous environment? Perhaps you know someone trying to make it in such a neighborhood, usually referred to as the hood. This book will open your eyes to what goes on there. The main character is Maria, which is a fictional name for the actual main character of this short biography. You will be amazed at Maria’s determination to survive, to keep her sanity and her faith, and to keep her low-paying job. I have chronicled her stories over the twenty-six year period she lived in the hood. Every premonition, every bit of ESP, every criminal story actually happened. I could not make this stuff up. All the police reports are there, but I had to change the names of the people and pets involved. I did not mention the city or the exact details of the crimes that she reported to the police in order to protect her anonymity. My own name as the author of this book is a pen name.
