Publisher's Synopsis
Cordell and his mother have constantly moved from state to state for eighteen years. Finally, he gets some stability when they reach South Central, California. Coming across the projects of Los Angeles, he engages with gang violence. He has to make a choice: jump headfirst into the crime and gang culture of his neighborhood or stay strong and ignore the allure. Meeting Ava could help him make that choice, but ultimately, the decision is his. What will he do?
