Abstract:
Shed So Many Tears is a story of shared struggle, soul-searching, and self discovery. Liz is a mother on a mission, dedicated to single parenting her only child, Malik, into manhood while helping him avoid his imprisoned father’s plight…or something worse. Liz is also juggling work, night school, and a mélange of personal issues. Meanwhile, Malik, and his comrade Drizzle, are trying hard to negotiate their way around the pitfalls of the Milwaukee streets. This becomes practically impossible once drama hits too close to home, and Malik calls up his ruthless twin cousins for backup.
