Wavering Between Extremes: One Man's Pursuit of the American Dream

By Herman Garner

Black Law school student by day. Cocaine dealer by night.

But everything came crashing down when the DEA kicked in my door. My dream of becoming a corporate attorney suddenly turned into a fight for my life against the criminal justice system.

In this raw, unfiltered autobiography, I give you a bird's-eye view of what it feels like to be a young, ambitious Black man - chasing the American Dream and colliding with the system built to stop him.

Whether you're a street hustler, a family man, or a C-suite executive, you'll find a piece of yourself in me.
