The book focuses on the challenges that young maverick faced after becoming a father. The age in life when you should be care and stress free, yet the pressures of life, parenting, friendships & the cycle of life because of the neighbourhood you grow in weighs heavily on you. Sell or struggle? Sometimes it felt like he couldn’t catch a break and that was all I wanted for him as he certainly was a trier. I loved the relationship with his mum & the support/encouragement from good old Mr Wyatt. Pleasant to read a book from a male POV.
