Tribulation of a Ghetto Kid

Book excerpt: It would be hard to imagine that in the United States of America, the greatest nation on the face of the earth, a young male growing up in the "hood" has a greater chance of survival in the midst of a war zone, rather than within the confines of the inner city ghettos.... Meet Jeffrey Owen's, the modern day Job; he's a model student and an inspiring rapper/poet who strives hard to live right and maintain his sanity in an environment filled with gross images of death and despair. Does young Jeffrey has what it takes to prevail, or will he like so many others be consumed by one of the seven devils; Greed, Lust, Fear, Envy, Vanity and Pride? This is not your average ghetto tale. The writer... Writes with a purpose... And the purpose? To kidnap the reader and hold them hostage! So don't confuse this Classic with any of the rest. No disrespect intended. This highly emotional street drama will keep readers flipping pages with unfound fury.
