For Jimmy Reed things have changed. Life has become a little harder around the edges. Things haven't been as easy as he thought they were going to be now that his father gave his life for his country. His mother puts up the congressional medal of honor on top of the Christmas tree. She looks at it and is reminded of how brave her husband was. All Jimmy can see is pain, anger, and betrayal.
With other soldiers coming back from the war, it is a constant reminder of what Jimmy lost. "Why did this have to happen God? You were supposed to protect him! Now he's never coming back!" Before Jimmy realizes what's happened he's been initiated into a gang. And the place that the gang plans to rob: the corner store where his mother works. Jimmy never planned for his mother to get in the middle of it. Can Jimmy change his ways? Will someone help turn his life around?
I read this book in one sitting. All I can say is give this book a shot. You won't regret reading it.
