Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Fisher grew up knowing more struggle than most could ever imagine. Growing up in the streets of Los Angeles, he always dreamed of a better life, but the world around him was filled with the harsh pitfalls of reality: too little money, too much idle time, too many opportunities to get tied up in the street life: power and money. Given one last chance to get his life in order, Anthony is sent to live under the watchful eye of his maternal grandmother, in the middle of suburbia. Shocked by the differences in culture, and being an outsider in his new environment, Anthony finds himself at an all too familiar crossroads - can he get his life together to become the man he always dreamed of being . . . or will his troubled past turn him into another unfortunate statistic?
