Moving from a brownstone in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, to a housing project in the small town of Plainfield, New Jersey, young Kamil is exposed to another world and a different breed of people. Bonded by the pain caused by their absentee fathers, Kamil and his brother befriend a group of boys from the neighborhood, forming an unbreakable bond. The boys vow not to travel down the same road as their dads, making a pact to stay in school and out of the streets. When Kamil discovers the allure of the opposite sex, a childhood crush develops into something much more.

Heartbreak America

The story was well read, informative and sad. It showed the life too many black men are forced live.

pretty good listen

Reflections

This is a good story. The narrator was good and kept me engaged. The character went through alot of what young men go through now in unfortunate circumstances but if they would stop and think about their actions before making the next move we would have alot more if our young men alive, free and productive in society.
