NBA FAME, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, NEVERENDING SEXCAPADES, AND A BOTTOMLESS BANK ACCOUNT WERE NOT ENOUGH FOR HIM TO ESCAPE THE CURSES OF HIS ABUSIVE, DOPEFIEND FATHER........COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG.
The reason I wanted to be so successful in the NBA is because I never wanted to be my father. I never wanted to be standing on street corners shaking and twitching for the next hit, and abandoning my family. I never wanted to abuse my woman when she only wanted to love me, help me, and build with me. I never wanted to wake up in a strange place, shriveled up, dying, and putting the product above everyone who loved me. I never wanted to leave a fatherless son and daughter who needed my direction. I couldn't stand that mutha fucka, and never wanted to be him, until fast times and faster women changed everything. I was fucking and skeeting in random pussy just like my daddy. I was partying, coming in at all hours of the night, and neglecting my children just like my pops. Fame, and money only elevated it. When you fuck up your career, your money, and family, crack is all you have left. Now I'm on the floor curled up in a fetal position, with foam coming out of my mouth and shivering like I just stepped out of the cold. Last night I looked at myself in the mirror and I'd become a skeleton. What does a man do when the grim reaper is looking at him face to face? Where do you go when there's no place left? Who do you call when you've burned all your bridges? I had transformed into everything I hated. I had become my father.
Elijah tried so hard not to be like Glover and ended up like him anyways. Temptation to a young kind is terrible and add money, and free range of life made it worse! I hated how things ended with him and Hope but they was young and fresh out of high school. It took Elijah and glover to hit rock bottom to build and piece their life back together! Natalie was a good one. Cause she dealt with a lot even though she wasn’t taught the best ways of life as well! And I love Mary! It goes to show that even the lowest of the low can still make something out of themselves! I’m proud of Elijah! Y’all grab this book!!
The reunion between father and son in the church was the best thing about this book. Elijah had the right to be angry, but his reaction was extreme. I'm happy he and Natalia decided to reconcile based on love rather than just the baby. There were paragraphs where the author mixed up characters, but other than that, it was a solid read.
Just who a didn't expect it it was just shocking but real gives you insight what happens if you're not familiar with the actions and make you not want to do those things. Read this one in a day
Yes your novels have enough sex to drive me stir crazy...lol Would I recommend this book to others? Hell yes! But, for me to break down and cry at the end?! I would say that you have written one HELL OF A NOVEL!!!! Once again...BRAVO!!!!!!!
