Such A Good Baby — Nancy A. Collins

Cheri arrived in the Big Apple with nothing but a suitcase and dreams of making something of herself. But within weeks of meeting Ramon she was turning tricks. Then she gave birth to Jennifer--the only thing that gives her hope in this meat-grinder of a city. Although a loving mother, Cheri lives in constant fear of Child Protection Services taking her baby away from her. But when she makes the mistake of taking the wrong trick back to her apartment, Cheri does what any mother would to save her child--with unexpected results for both herself and her baby.
