Publisher's Synopsis
Three tales of 'Hood Life without the cliches. An elderly resident of a homeless shelter witnesses a murder and becomes the target of thugs. Two fellow shelter residents inspire a valiant battle to survive the night... An avid fisherman and a woman with a drinking problem make for an unlikely friendship... And childhood chums Mirth and Charlie choose divergent paths: Mirth aspires to be a comedian, Charlie a gangster. Three stories that blend the urban grit of Donald Goines and the introspective tone of Richard Wright.
