TRANSITIONS IN THE HOOD
Transitions In The Hood is the story of a young boys long, damned, journey to manhood while striving to maintain within the inner city of Los Angeles.

Money, sex, murder, Cadillacs, all elements of the ghetto theme, are touched on in this story ... How it Happened from straight As to prison; from hope to hopelessness; from Juvenile Halls to prison ... How it Happened: An emotional look inside of a young boy as he searches his world to discover what it truly means to be a man.
Mr. Godfather, his life had promise until ...
I am growing old myself, but there are few things I remember so well as the days of my youth. I have a most distinct recollection of the joys and sorrows, the hopes and the fears, the temptations and the difficulties, the mistaken judgments and the misplaced affections, the errors and the aspirations, which surround and accompany a young mans life. If I can only say something to keep some young man in the right way, and preserve him from faults and sins, which may mar his prospects both for time and eternity, I shall be very thankful. --J. C. Ryle
