This is a very graphic book in regards to an abusive relationship with his family and then trying to make it on his own in the streets of Chicago at the early age of about 13. It's easy to see how he falls into the gang life and the lack of value gang bangers have for human life. A very insightful but disturbing looking at gang life.
