About the Book

Their parents’ love, support, and guidance were the pipeline to their success. Home provided the water for life. Straying from this reliable source of sustenance can be dangerous. Kwame and his friends did. He was sent to jail when he was about to attend a top college. The unbearable conditions led to Kwame’s pained plea for help. His fate was in the hands of two women from two different social backgrounds: one white and one black. Their cause was freeing Kwame from the clutches of imprisonment. Their bond was the oldest one in the world: motherhood.

Customer Reviews

" A Must Read! The characters in this book come alive reminding us of Trayvon Martin and others like him. The prominence of ""Stop and Frisk"" currently in the news and the political arena, also invigorates the dialogue as we follow these youths growing up in a world of clouded judgement by some, while they try to resist peer pressure. Can family, friends and most of all A Mother's Love trump their challenges to become not just productive, but also successful members of society? It is as much of a surprise as it isn't, that as far as we've come, in many ways things have remained the same! People are still being unfairly judged by the color of their skin. "
