The author provides a great portrayal and engaging story centered around Darnell, a young man involved in a gang, desperately seeking a way out and uses football as his ticket. However, it's only until college is over for the summer and he must return home - but the demands placed upon him that summer are more than he can consciously bear - so he lies to get out of his assignment. However, the gang leader finds out about the lie and decides punishment is in order.This is a super book which every teenager and his/her parents should read. It drives home how life can be when involved with a gang and the peril it can bring to one's life and family - even to one's hopes and dreams.
