Malik has never had it easy. When he was seven years old, he witnessed his mother’s possible death when he walked into a situation he didn’t understand. Ten years later, after being shuffled around to multiple foster homes, he’s now emancipated and aims to remove his little brother, Taye. In the process, he finds himself approached by a stranger who claims to have knowledge of Malik,his unknown family and his past while being able to care for Taye’s medical needs.

In everything I’ve read of his thus far(three books),he perfectly intertwines who he is and what he loves into gripping, emotional, heartfelt stories with a bloody coating in a way that can only be called art. He can make my stomach churn, my heart break and me cry all with in a few pages.
