Ghost Town
Meet Eric Peterson- He’s an 18-year-old patriarch, wise well above his years. From the time he was eight years old until now he was looked on as the man of the house after his father was sent away to prison. He now was the one to take care of his mother and sister. In the midst of that, he lets the words in his mind speak the poetry that bleeds from the ink of his pen to his various notepads. But, after his sister has a violent encounter with a boyfriend, Eric steps into action with the help of a few friends. Eric would never think that taking care of his sister would result in harm coming to him and others in the end.
Meet Derrick Peterson- An 18-year-old basketball phenom. With the entire city behind him and his skills, Derrick is determined to make noise in college and hopefully one day make his dream come true in the NBA. His love for his family would end being his downfall though. After his cousin Eric learns that his little sister was beaten up by her boyfriend, Derrick breaks into action helping his cousin handle the situation. Derrick would never think that the actions of him and his cousin would change the lives of them and everyone around them.
Meet Raymond and Smooth- Twin brothers and best friends of Eric and Derrick, Raymond and Smooth are complete opposites of each other. Raymond being the calm and sensible one, and his brother Smooth being the wild card that was always down for whatever. The two brothers would grow up rough being the sons of a young mother trying hard to desperately make it. The ills of having two kids as a teenager would prove to be rough for their mother Yolanda, causing Raymond and Smooth to rely on the streets to make their money. After a tragic turn of events takes place regarding their best friends Eric and Derrick, Raymond and Smooth begin to look at the city that they come from differently and try their best to find ways to change.

About the author
Elijah Foreman
36 books48 followersA talented and dedicated author/writer, Elijah Foreman has been moving his pen for quite some time. As a young child, he was taught how to structure a stage play and that would birth his writing journey. At that time he wrote as a hobby and had no idea that this would one day be his career choice.
In 2010, at 18 years old Elijah made the decision to find a way to get into the urban lit industry. After having a chance conversation with Wahida Clark and NeNe Capri in his hometown of Trenton NJ, Elijah was motivated as ever to one day have his books read by the masses.
In 2013, at 21 years old Elijah would finally get his chance when he signed his first publishing deal and released his first book a month later. Over the next three years, Elijah had many pitfalls and setbacks hinder his progress but he kept pushing forward. Finally, in 2016 Elijah decided that it was time for a change. That change would be his own company, Elite Novelist Group.
Now, at 29 years of age, Elijah feels like he has dealt with every setback head on and is still here pushing his pen. And, with 28 books currently out, Elijah always lets it be known that he is not stopping any time soon. With podcast host and screenwriter being added to his list of accomplishments this year, there is plenty more of Elijah Foreman soon to come. Stay tuned.

Good read
Wow!! This book was really good. There were some grammatical errors and formatting issues. Some chapter numbers were repeated. The tenses were being switched from one to another. But the storyline was great. I felt every emotion there was to feel.
