Overview

There and Now (Volume Two) continues the story of E, an African-American teenager, as he begins to find his way in late Philadelphia in the late 1980s, hustling on the streets, discovering an attraction to girls and an enduring love of deejaying. As E's life moves ever closer to hip hop and rapping, his parents are left to wonder if he will make it through high school and to college, or if he will be claimed by the streets, like so many of those who have gone before him, washed up and finished before he reaches his mid-twenties. Searching for individuality, where so many have failed in the past, is his ultimate challenge. Change is his ticket to success and happiness, but can E find a way to attain it and still keep hold of an identity that has been forged through hard won respect and skills which have earned him a rightful place among his peers. Surviving on the mean streets of Philadelphia has never been harder for anyone. But for E, it could be the making of him.
