One Way: Short Stories About Left Turns

by Dorsey Howard Jr.

Making wrong choices can become addictive. It may start out simple, such as telling a lie to your parents or slipping a pack of gum into your pocket when visiting the local store. Those wrong choices, or "left turns" as Dorsey Howard, Jr. calls them, can quickly begin a downward spiral in your life. In "One Way - Short Stories About Left Turns," Dorsey shares about the consequences of a life that is full of left turns. He knows this from experience. While several of the stories are fictional, many are based on actual events that happened in Dorsey's life. Growing up in one of the toughest housing projects in Chicago, Dorsey endured and survived a life filled with left turns, including gangs, drugs, violence and prison. His stories inspire us to take a look at our lives and evaluate the "left turns" we are making.
