The Story

A gang of young African American boys struggle to hold a few blocks of bleak turf in Oakland when a 16-year-old drug dealer instigates a fight with them. But the dealer's unwilling bodyguard emerges as the key player in a drama that illuminates America's urban reality in a totally fresh way. 'Should be read by all of mainstream America'.--Terry McMillan, author of Waiting to Exhale.
