Little Big Men: A Memoir of Brotherhood, One Weekend, and the End of a Childhood in Camden

By: Moreland, Chris

Camden, New Jersey. 1985. Five boys. One weekend. No way back.

They had one place that belonged to them - a corner, a tree, a space in a city that didn't give much to anyone. It was where they laughed, argued, and held onto what little childhood they had left.

Then, in a single moment, it was taken.

What follows is a weekend that forces four boys into a world that no longer sees them as children - unfamiliar streets, hostile territory, and a system that takes one of their own before they can make sense of it.

Some childhoods don't fade. They end.

Little Big Men is a memoir of brotherhood, survival, and the cost of growing up too fast in 1980s Camden - a place that didn't protect innocence and never pretended to.

Because of where they come from, growing up isn't a milestone.

It's something that happens to you.
