Broken Homes, Borrowed Roads

By JOCQUILL L BETHEA

Broken Homes, Borrowed Roads

This is not a story about comfort.
It's a story about survival.

Broken Homes, Borrowed Roads is a raw, unfiltered memoir of growing up in instability-moving from place to place, navigating the streets, facing arrest, loss, and the quiet weight of being a young man forced to grow up too fast.

Through fractured homes and borrowed spaces, this story captures what it feels like to search for identity when nothing around you feels permanent. The blue house. The back room. The silence. The noise. The eyes watching. The respect that comes with the wrong kind of reputation.

This book is about:

- Growing up in poverty
- Watching family struggle with mental health
- Surviving the streets without losing yourself
- Learning discipline through pain
- Becoming a man without a roadmap

It is honest. Direct. Unapologetic.

If you've ever felt unseen, displaced, or forced to build strength in silence, this book will speak to you.

This is not a story about being perfect.
It's about being forged.
