Prologue

The streets of Manhattan were bustling with activity. Newsies sold their papers. Nuns fed the poor. Plain old stuff like that. It was a normal plain happy day except for a girl who lay broken, bloody and beaten in an alley. The people who knew her best would say she was cute, sweet, shy & quiet. All of which is where she got her nickname of Sweetheart. Sweetheart was one of the Harlem Newsgirls. She had a long story that has lead up to where she is now. One that is sad but has a right to be told.
