It tells of the spectacular failures and unlikely comebacks of a ghetto kid whose academic talent opens doors onto a world of private schools, rich classmates, and plum jobs but who back home confronts a neighborhood of growing poverty, drug abuse, and crime. \"Project Girl\" is McDonald's story of her divided life and terrible battle to reconcile opposing worlds. The price she pays is high - police troubles of her own, self-destructive brushes with violence, and an undertow of inner turmoil that threatens to engulf her. Only through brains, willpower, and the support of family and friends is she able repeatedly to rebound from disaster and ultimately regain control of her life.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Project Girl | Janet McDonald | Hardcover | 9780374237578 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1758349","offer_id":49181574365336,"sku":"1758349","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81KLtqirXrL_1f8c2f61-25eb-4fa5-8b41-7b65c7e1a941.jpg?v=1780239712","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/project-girl-36","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
