"The smartest kid on his block in East Baltimore, D. was certain he would escape the life of drugs, decadence, and violence that had surrounded him since birth. But when his brother Devin is shot-only days after D. receives notice that he's been accepted into Georgetown University-the plans for his life are exploded, and he takes up the mantel of his brother's crack empire. D. succeeds in cultivating the family business, but when he meets a woman unlike any he's known before, his priorities are once more put into question. Equally terrifying and hilarious, inspiring and heartbreaking, D.'s story offers a rare glimpse into the mentality of a person who has escaped many hells."--Amazon.com.

I'm a huge fan of D. Watkins. As a matter of fact, his book, “Black Boy Smile” is one of my favorites. This one however, didn't hit the same. As a former street person, some of this book felt exaggerated at best. It was still a good read, but it read more like an urban fiction than a memoir. There were also several grammatical errors.
