Henry Fraser is an 89-year-old World War II veteran living alone in the noisy slums of his formerly peaceful neighborhood. When gang violence and deadly attacks nearly destroy his home and threaten to tear the neighborhood apart, Henry uses his Marine training to fight back, waging a one-man war against the criminal element taking over the streets-in the process discovering that not everyone is his mortal enemy. Treehouse in the Hood is a tale of bold defiance, cultural understanding, and finding friends in the most unexpected places.
