Book summary and details


The memoir outlines the true crime realities of the author's past and subsequent redemption.


The Catalyst: At just 10 years old, Jones entered the drug trade to help his mother pay backed up bills.


Street and Gang Life: He became heavily entrenched in the streets as a member of the West Side 30's Fruit Town Brim (36th Street) chapter in Jersey City, New Jersey.


Legal Troubles: His street operations led to intensive tracking by gang task forces and federal agents. He eventually faced two first degree murder ("187") cases.


Incarceration and Turning Point: While serving time in State and Federal prisons, specifically Otisville Federal Prison, he had to watch his daughters grow up through photographs. He found his true calling after taking a business management class while behind bars.


Redemption and Giving Back: Following his release, Jones shifted his life toward gang prevention and intervention. He now travels to speak at high schools, colleges, and community centers to guide at-risk youth.

An Inner City Inspiration: Reviewers on platforms like Barnes and Noble describe it as an inspirational autobiography that will "motivate any inner city kids around the world". Readers note that it serves as a blueprint on "how to never give up on your dreams and purpose".


A Real Page-Turner: Audience members call it an action-packed, fast-paced "tear jerker" that they simply could not put down.
