About the Book:

Paul Williams, a.k.a. Halfbreed, grew up in the ghetto. Violence and drugs were second nature and funerals routine. Raised in church, but drafted by the streets, he came to know the criminal element first hand. Facing his mother on her deathbed, he vows to change his destructive lifestyle.

As visions of a peaceful, united community fill his mind, he finds himself a witness to yet another brutal murder. But this time he doesn’t stay silent. Befriending an abandoned kid who may have the evidence to bring the killers to justice, Breed violates the codes of the streets, plunging his life into mayhem.

This hypnotic, page-turning drama will make you question everything you know about street novels. Insightful, surprisingly original, brutally honest, and shockingly inspirational, Breed crosses boundaries of morality, spirituality, and sexuality as it takes you on an exhilarating ride thru the violent streets of South West Philadelphia.

About the Author:

Drawing on his all-too-real experiences with church, prison, hustlers, tricks, and dope boys, Breed will move you with passion, thrill you with drama, and educate you on the reality of the streets, while inspiring peace, self awareness, and spirituality.
