Publisher's Synopsis
In A City Where Separating Good From Evil Can Seem Impossible, A Family Must Search For Hope
Once hailed for its historic importance in serving as George Washington's Headquarters during the American Revolutionary War, the City of Newburgh, New York has since statistically been ranked as one of the most dangerous places to live in the United States because of its gun violence and other problems. Despite how the city itself has declined, its local politics have become more intertwined with the town's institutions and the lives of its people. At the center of all of this, children growing up within the city must demonstrate resilience as they work to overcome one obstacle after another.
Scheming in the Dark is a true story told by an individual who grew up in Newburgh and lived around people who sought to end the city's intergenerational cycle of poverty. Watch these people come together, intervene with local agencies, and send shockwaves across New York.
Through this inspirational, career-defining story, the author directly confronts his hometown's recent past and also shows just how far a family will go to protect its members when things get rough. Will the city's residents have time to undo the damage inflicted on Newburgh, or is it already too late to save the community they love?
