Life is definitely not meant to be this hard. His mother tragically dies of cancer, his once perfect world is turned upside down, and the coldhearted streets of Detroit couldn’t care less. Now Lonnie McKay, homeless and alone, is caught up in the system at the mercy of others. Faced with women who could possibly help him but refuse to do so, he soon develops a vindictive dislike for every female he comes in contact with. Under the influence of anything he can take to get high, a delusional Lonnie sets no limits to what he’ll do to make these women pay—including murder.
This book was so good!!! Keeps you going did not put it down. Being homeless addicted to drugs smh. Wish it was a part two that's how good this book was. You will not regret it!!

Not only when they take him out of the court room, He also kills the court guard and threatens the judge. He has done nothing to prove to his mom how wonderful his life could have been.
Good Read!!! Lonnie has a lot problems but that don't excuse the fact that he was a murderer and his hate for women. What he did to Trina was inexcusable he was a sick person instead of getting help he went to drugs this book make you at mental illness and what the person is going through. In actually he was a serial killer and how many people did he really kill.
This book was deep. It took me a minute to read because of the graphic reality in which the author wrote. I was able to feel the pain of the circumstances that all the characters were in. This is truly a book not meant for the faint of heart. After reading this book and meeting the author, I was thoroughly impressed.
It is the saddest story ever. I kept waiting on Lonnie to get it together and do justice to his mother's memory, but it wasn't to be. What a waste of a young life
