Publisher's Synopsis
Using real-life events as the background, A Child Sings In The Ghetto shows the journey of urban adolescence through the eyes of a young boy living in Southwest Atlanta. Born in a crime-filled environment the young man continuously tries to find the balance between good and evil. He tries to remember his roots in royalty but is continuously pushed to make bad decisions. This short archive of tales filled with drugs, guns, and validation resonates with any young man growing up in these conditions. Will he ever find a moment of clarity that will show him that he's doing nothing to save his people? Only destroying them through actions to validate himself. A Child Sings In The Ghetto shows how powerful childhood situations play on the mentalities of adults raised in these neighborhoods.
