About this audiobook
Linda is a young, hardworking single mom struggling to get by from paycheck to paycheck. When she learns that her son Dre needs a kidney transplant, her family's already precarious financial situation takes a turn for the worst. Then she discovers that the only one who can help Dre is his half-brother LeVon, a drug-dealing gangbanger who thinks only of himself. Somehow Linda must get through to LeVon in order to save her son.
Though she is deathly afraid of LeVon and the world he lives in, Linda knows she must conquer her fear and meet him on his own turf if she is to have any hope of success. Linda is finally able to teach LeVon the value of doing something noble with his life. And to her surprise, she learns she has room in her heart for one more kid, a boy from the streets who never had a chance.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This engaging hi-lo features a vividly rendered, strong-willed mother in the 'hood doing what she can to care for her teenage son Dre who needs a kidney transplant. Urban fiction that captures the realities of the lower class without relying on bad language to make its point. Representative line from gangbanger LeVon: "Nineteen in the projects is like 90 in the rest of the world."
