"I never chose the game... the game chose me."
This book is for the old me-the one who knew this life too well.
Eve Malone is a reflection of that reality... a single mother chasing something better, leaving Detroit behind hoping California would bring peace instead of pressure. But Oakland ain't what it used to be. It's a place where survival is earned, not given-where the streets don't love you back, and every move could be your last.
Pulled into a world of fast money, drugs, betrayal, and violence, Eve finds herself caught between who she is and what the streets demand her to become. And them niggas y'all praise as hustlers and bosses? They part of the same system tearing the community down, turning struggle into profit while lives get lost in the process.
She fights to protect her child, her sanity, and what's left of her soul-while standing ten toes in a life that don't offer second chances.
A real thug story.
My whole life... a Tupac album.
Pain, pressure, survival... and redemption
