This story is about a young black man, who grew up in Compton California, who overcame the tragedy of being shot, not once but twice. And then all the difficulties that came after, all while surviving the relentless 70s, before the age of 18 years old.What makes my book different than any other book out there? The only difference is that it's my story. I'm no different than you or anybody else out there, we all have a story to tell, a purpose in life. After reading my book, I hope that you will be encouraged to tell your story and fulfill your purpose. That being said, my book is raw it's not sugar-coated, it's not watered-down, it tells the true story of how my life was. It talks about; Joy and pain, happiness and sadness, sex, drugs and abstinence, love and hate, courage and fear, strength and weakness, being honest and dishonest, being helpless and overcoming obstacles, having faith and doubt, loss and gain, laughter and sorrow. It's not too long and it's not too short, it gets right to point.
