Dope Ties is a gripping ride through betrayal, survival, and street loyalty - where family ain't always
blood and love don't come without consequences. Krista M. Southerland brings raw emotion and urban
realness in this autofiction debut that hits like a confession and reads like a late-night phone call you
weren't supposed to hear.
Set in the heart of Greensboro, North Carolina, this is a story of a woman caught between the hustle
and the heartbreak - trying to hold her people down while they're busy setting her up. The lines
between truth and fiction blur as secrets unravel, bonds break, and trust gets left on the sidewalk.
If you've ever been played by the people you'd die for - this one's for you.
■ Urban autofiction for the bold, the betrayed, and the ones who bounce back harder.
