Enlighting and thought provoking

A personal account and insight on how he dealt with abandonment from his father figure. The turn of events that caused both a distructive lifestyle and another event that brought him to evaluate what he wanted for his future...one that was to be productive and rewarding. The view of a ghetto that is universal I was left with the new meaning of "family" in a ghetto,and embracing the responsiblity to help our fellow man with a vision of hope. In the end the philosophying became a bit preachy. However, I was left with the need to read how this young man continued his life / lifestyle. Will there be a sequel?
