Everybody Gets Tired is an inspirational Urban Book by African American Literature Author Yvonne Bridges. This impelling story shows how loyalty, commitment and spirituality helps three urban teenage girls emerge into womanhood. This is a great read for teens. Richard Allen Projects, a world of drugs, violence, and poverty, fuses together three young girls in a bond of friendship and sisterhood. Kinda, Lala and Ness grow up in an environment believing that the three “B’s beauty, booty, and brains, will bring them many rewards. A summer work program introduces them to Tay, an educated, beautiful “got it all together” sista that elects to take them under her wings and become their personal mentor, but, she selectively forgets to reveal to them “what she is really all about.” As always, life takes many turns and the three friends shockingly must learn the truth about Tay while trying to cope with personal challenges of their own. The world of slick ballers and fast money, plunge their lives into confusion, desperation, and despair. Kinda, believing that the only thing a man is good for is money is forced to go on the run. Ness, believing that only one man can sexually please her, is fighting for her life. Lala, the voice of reasoning and the platform of stability for her friends, is left rendering support while maintaining emotional strength awaiting true love from her man. Although young and still with many dreams, one by one they learn and realize that “Everybody Gets Tired”. It will be their trails, tribulations, and ongoing hustles that make them come to terms with the street and their lives while learning that each mistake is a lesson and each lesson is a second chance to triumph due to God’s grace
