    About this ebook

    Wherever life is found, there is darkness looming near sunlight. Where truth resides, deception hides in the shadows. When joy presents itself, suffering is not far behind.
    The Southie Pact is about the damage that drugs do to ordinary people and to their community. How drugs ruin the lives of those who succumb to their unyielding grasp and the lives of those left behind to suffer the pain.
    It’s also a story of hope and our faith in each other as we travel through life and face each new day with renewed strength and optimism.

      Fleetwood Mac was singing She is dancing away from you now, and I squirmed in my seat. Kabir was rubbing my thigh as he drove, a gesture I once thought was reserved for me. Bah! I also used to think he only took naked selfies in bed with me, but then
