DESCRIPTION
After returning home from a long bid an ex-convict finds his girlfriend in bed with his best friend who has taken over his block, strong-armed his woman, and played the role of sadistic daddy to his young and impressionable sons. Adding insult to injury, his second baby mama is addicted to crack due to dealings with fowl men, bouts of depression, and traps of the ghetto.
After a life-changing experience, he vows to change his life for the better despite two emotionally crippled baby mama’s, poverty, and a system that doesn’t care if he lives or dies. At this point, he isn’t living for himself. He is living for his children. He looks around his old neighborhood and see’s that it’s infested with skinny jean thugs, social media gangsters, lames, and all around fuck boys. It ain’t like it used to be, prompting the reader to ask certain questions.
What happened to respectable hustlers who may have done the wrong thing, but for the right reasons? What happened to our men? What happened to our women? What happened to our children? Who raised these niggas?
These questions and more are answered in Baby Maker, a look into fatherhood, sex, violence, rising above foolishness, and taking the block back by any means necessary. A riveting read.
