Inhaltsangabe:

It is estimated that roughly five hundred people move to Atlanta Georgia per day. Many come in search of a new life; others arrive as a means of escape from the monotony of their former lives, anxiously awaiting any opportunity to recreate, and lose themselves within the vast newness that has become Atlanta Georgia. Brian, Glenn, Malik, and, Sean are four such individuals who also came to Atlanta for many of the same reasons. Their story however, is unique in that they came to Atlanta in an attempt to embrace change only to discover that in order to make a change one must first be willing to change:

Brian’s constant attempts at buying love would ultimately lead him to discover that real love is priceless.

Glenn’s arrogant love quest coupled with his inability to control his lustful desires is what will make him become his own worst enemy.

Malik’s resentment, and contempt for the shallow nature of young black women became the reason for his treatment of them as objects, and prevented him from opening up and allowing himself to be loved.

Fate steps in just as Sean attempts to start a family and convert to living a quality life; bringing it all to an abrupt end.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Author Dean McCrary creatively, and capably gives life to a collection of true Atlanta experiences revealing a rarely seen side of the Urban African American male psyche.

With a special thanks to Rakeem Wilburn for his youthful and up to date perspectives; given also through real life experiences -confirming the confusion that is part of the "growing pains" all young black men ultimately experience.
