Description
A story of surviving and thriving with passion, compassion, wit, and style. MK Asante's memoir is an unforgettable tale of how one precocious, confused kid educated himself through the challenges of his world. Born to American parents in Zimbabwe, MK Asante was swept up in a different reality as a teenager - navigating the harsh realities of urban America and a self-destructing family. Through gangs, rap, mystic cults, ghetto philosophy, and eventually books, he found a way to heal and redeem himself. This memoir is an inspiring tribute to the power of literature to transform lives.
