Love Thy Naybor Vol 2 A Brothaz Love, by Julius Clark Jones, focuses on the real-life experiences and transformation of Julian Raskho, also known as "InFrared 1", a former member of the Naybarhood Blood's gang from Newport News, VA. 


Two book covers on a wooden surface. Left cover shows text, right cover features a crying face sketch with "INVINCIBLE TEARS VOL 1" title.

The book details InFrared's early life as a sensitive "mama's boy" and the negative influences that led him and his brother, Joel "Red Haze 1" Raskho, into gang activity, drug dealing, and crime following their parents' divorce and their mother's financial struggles. 


A major turning point in Infrared's life was getting shot five times and serving a federal prison sentence. The tragic murder of his brother, Red Haze, by rival gangs. After his release from prison, further fueled InFrared's transformation and adoption of the nickname "Lil Haze" or "Haze 2" in his brother's memory.


Despite his past, InFrared maintains that he remains loyal to his mother, the only person whose loyalty he remains loyal to his mother, the only person whose loyalty he never questioned. 


The book's broader message, according to the author, is to bring awareness to parents and guardians about preventing children from becoming victims of gang violence by recognizing early signs. 


Additionally, the book seeks to challenge the glorification of street life and gang life. Not all gang members end up in the grave, and desire to change and are actively working towards it. Julius Clark Jones is involved in community outreach programs like public speaking at high schools and colleges. Feeding the less fortunate and assisting young women in escaping prostitution, says Amazon.com


Potential Audience. This book may be particularly relevant to parents, educators, and youth workers seeking to understand and address issues related to trauma, gangs, and positive development. 


It may appeal to individuals interested in stories of redemption, overcoming adversity, and finding purpose after difficult experience. LOVE THY NAYBOR VOL 2 A BROTHAZ LOVE is available in paperback online retailers across the globe and available for wholesalers through IngramSpark.
