An alternately poignant and powerful autobiography, a riveting overcoming-the-odds memoir. A MUST READ! - Kam Williams, Book Reviewer - Baret News Syndicate. The story of an African American child and young teenager growing up in the real ghetto, the housing projects.

I soon realized that I could not write about me as an African Ameri
