Publisher's Synopsis
This memoir is an in-depth depiction of a young boy growing up in the inner-city of Toronto.
Reginald J. Tull does an exceptional job of painting a picture of the good, bad, and grimy aspects of Canada's largest city during the rise of crack cocaine and its effects on its most dangerous housing projects - Regent Park. The events that transpired in that concrete jungle are riveting and untold in any other book. The city streets are brought to life in a vivid reality that has been experienced by youths who have lived and maneuvered through them. He also delves into the history and atrocities that transpired within the dark walls of the infamous Toronto Don Jail, and his encounters with violence and how he survived his ordeal of being falsely accused of murder. Memoirs of a Bad Boy is a perfect example of how anyone, regardless of where they came from, how much abuse they endured, or what cards they were dealt, can escape the chaotic, intimidating world around them and eventually live to help others.
