This book was written for, inspired by, and dedicated to youth; and anyone who works with them, encourages them, and loves them. It expresses the often unnocticed and under appreciated experiences that many urban teens face, in the form of short story and poetry. From topics like gang initiations, to African American History, to what it is like to be a child with an incarcerated parent. This book takes a look into the hard choices that many of us never have to make. It leaves the reader engaged, inspired, and hungry to make a difference.
