About the Author
I’m Haadi Hammond, just another girl from the 215, born and raised in North Philly, where storytelling and neighborhood life shaped my voice from a young age.
I've been writing since middle school, channeling my love for authentic emotion and real-world experiences into my work.
I’m a proud mother of six and a devoted wife, balancing a full-time career with my passion for creating stories that make others feel seen, understood, and uplifted. Whether I'm writing late at night or encouraging someone through their day, I find joy in making people happy.

Common Questions
Is this signed?
If you choose Signed - yes, by me. You can add a name for personalization at checkout.
When do you ship?
I ship within 2 business days from Troutman, NC via USPS Media Mail. 2-5 days delivery.
Is this the same as Amazon?
Same book, but buying here you get a signed copy and you support me directly. Amazon keeps selling unsigned copies.
Philly, Philly...Philly where I am from!!!
Philly isn't just a place on a map; it's a state of mind that stays with you.
I wrote this series for the Just Another Girl who felt invisible, for the girls navigating friendships that feel like family, and first loves that feel like forever. When you order from this site, you're ordering directly from me. I sign , personalize, and pack orders myself.
215 forever.
