About this ebook

A troubled teen from the Southside of Chicago gives an intimate account of his daily struggles and hustles as he strives to make something better of himself. He goes by the name of Daquan Bell, but most know him as JuJu.

His father and mother separated while Daquan was at a very young age, leaving he and his mother to fend for themselves. A typical reality for many of the youth that grew up on his block.

Growing up under the tutelage of a single mother, Daquan quickly adapts to the social issues in America. He becomes the man in the house and questions the very order of society as we know it.

Daquan witnesses the profiteering of his fellow neighbors in Chiraq. The disproportionate number of individuals on welfare and the lack of good paying jobs for blacks in the city.

He has a good friend that sells and distributes a whole cocktail of drugs just to survive.

The Chicago crime rate is at an all-time high and being outside on the wrong block after midnight could get someone sent to the morgue.  

At the age of nineteen Daquan has witnessed more than most people would ever witness during their lifetime. But even with all the bad, Daquan recognizes that some good could come from his block if people were to wake up and take action. With a strong mother and a good friend, he meets, Daquan may finally understand what it means to do good in a neighborhood rife with so much bad.

This is not your average drug dealer book, this is African American Urban fiction at its best. For everyone that believes in second chances and have a hope for a way out, don't read anymore gangsta books till you have read Supply&Demand. A breakout novella by Michael D. Beckford.
