This is a story of how he stood by his values, gained friends, and made more money than his hard working aunt, all without violence, in a very violent world-until his darkest hour when he got caught for something he didn't do. It is a story anyone who grew up during those times will recognized and relate to. It is also a good story for Young Adults.
