Book excerpt: From a brutal and traumatizing rape, a nearly flawless and brilliant soul is conceived, destined for greatness beyond the unapologetic, harsh, and gritty streets of South Dallas. Through his unique, God-given gift of poetry, Innoxent, the name his mother chose for him with purpose to purify his conception, finds his life's calling and strives to fulfill the promise that he will become somebody by any means despite his beginning. But first, Innoxent must navigate through the obstacles that come along with simply being young, male, and black in urban America. His life becomes even more complicated when his mama, his heartbeat and rock, seeks the love and affection she so desperately desires in the wrong man. His uncle, the sole positive male in his life, disappointedly falls prey to fast-moneyand criminal activity that leads to a prison stint. With his mama being blinded by love, his family in chaos, and his best friend on the run, Innoxent finds comfort in his gift of words. And then he meets them, a girl he initially believes is out of his league, and a couple of accomplished black men who see his real potential to become more than the world expects of him. However, he's still not immune to tragedy nor is he prepared for it. So, when it strikes, his world is shattered and the pain is insurmountable. "Some black boys don't get to be heroes in the movie."
