About this ebook

This book came into this world October 18, 2014. It was a difficult story to tell because of the shifting moods of the characters and situations. To go from And there was my grandmother, the very definition of misery. The apartment she lived in was given to her by my uncle, her son, but she took us in when we had no place to live. She had her own story:

To go to; Because we were so poor there was no money for toys. My uncle Jess bought me a red fire truck, the kind you sit in and peddle. I was not allowed to take it into the street so I drove it on the roof of that garage next door, our private playground going round and round. I loved that truck as it was the only toy I had. Boy, poverty sucks but has its advantages: you learn to live without things and it makes you strive for more, willing to do anything to get out of poverty.
Everything this book is, is to relay the total experience of the piece, the happiness, the sadness, and most of all the fear. With situations like;
When they got to me they wrapped me up in a quilt and hung me out of the window with only the pressure of the window holding me up. Erics family lived on the eighth floor of their building so if I fell I would most assuredly be dead from the fall. I could see down as my head was partially hanging out of the quilt, a crowd started to gather below.

It is also meant to be a tribute to the Brave men and women in the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement. I try to bombard your senses with strong feelings of what life was like for these people with involvements such as;
I thought to myself this is a murder assignment and I was right! We were there for one reason and one reason only: to eliminate
the enemy, to win this war by attrition. The book is for the reader to get completely involved with each situations gravity.


Thank You

I, Adrien Martin came into this world, this life just another kid, another hungry mouth to feed when you don’t have the money to feed yourself. This was the way the first years of life for me were. When I relay this to my readers I don’t just put words on a page to be read, I want to relay much more, the visuals that go with these events, I want them to experience everything that is taking place, to be actually there. The worst years of my life were these events, and sometimes the people. I was a victim from the get go. Anyone that felt like picking a fight or just ruin somebodies day, they would go to me because I would not put up a fight, just stand there and take it. This book recognizes these people and makes it clear this doesn’t have to be that way, you can rise up above this and come out the winner. I also want to pay tribute to the heroes, those brave men and women of the Military Armed Forces. These people protect our freedom and our way of life, this book is meant to be for them. I would also like to pay tribute to the brave men, and women of Law Enforcement. These people are out in the cities and states protecting our way of life. They are the “first responders” in almost every situation that can arise to ruin your day. They are the finest people on this earth, risking their lives to bring justice to the sometimes helpless persons of America. I feel that with the NEWS almost every night telling a story about some crazy person grabbing a gun and killing some people not just one person, but a group of people getting it wholesale, many for the price of just one. This was my life in the beginning, but I didn’t have to stay there. This book will relay not just the written story, but the total experience I had gone through.
