Franklyn “Franky” Bourgeois is fifteen, and he’s already done more living than most. First he was blasted out of a normal childhood in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit. Determined to survive, he left town with two older cousins. They were nothing short of thugs, but they were all he had. And hard as he tried, even for a good kid like Franky, their influence was hard to resist…

Now Franky’s just a heartbeat away from a life of crime–until he gets an unexpected chance to turn things around. Getting back on track is easier said than done, especially when a group of prep school fools set out to keep Franky on the streets. But Franky’s always been a survivor. He’ll just have to prove it one more time..

Coming up in the inner city, Kwame and Romeo Braxton never had anyone except their Nana and each other. So when big brother Kwame caught two years for doing nothing but keeping the wrong kind of friends, their lives were turned upside down. And things are about to get shaken up one more time.

Romeo is seventeen and the star quarterback for the Tucker Tigers. He gets all the attention he can handle from the honeys-and the big-time college football programs. Deciding where to take a scholarship should be Romeo’s biggest problem, but these days it’s the last thing on his mind.

Not only is Kwame finally getting out of jail, their absentee mother Pearl is back on the scene, and Rome’s girl Ngiai says she’s ready to get serious. Oh, and a couple of thugs beat Pearl nearly to death and wrecked Nana’s crib.

With everything in their lives out of control, Kwame and Rome are at a serious crossroads. Now they’ll have to decide who’s really got their backs, and what kind of future they’re ready to step up to.
