Franklyn 'Franky' Bourgeois is 15 and he's already done more living than most. First he was blasted out of a normal childhood in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit. Determined to survive, he left town with two older cousins. They were nothing short of thugs, but they were all he had. And as hard as he tried, even for a good kid like Franky, their influence was hard to resist. Now Franky's just a heartbeat away from a life of crime - until he gets an unexpected chance to turn things around. Getting back on track is difficult, but Franky's always been a survivor.

Franky has gone though so much in his short life, he is an orphan, he is a Hurricane Katrina survivor, and he is living with his well meaning but “derelict” cousins in harsh conditions. After the storm, and his move to Atlanta, Franky did not return to school for three years. Thankfully Franky decides it is time to return to school, and on his first day back he meets Khadija. Khadija and Franky immediately hit it off, and a romance begins. Throughout the story Franky has to make the difficult choices so often made in an impoverished urban setting, but he faces a major choice when it comes to dealing with a person that caused harm to his beloved Khadija.
This story needs an editor. Story lines are out of order, chapter 9 starts off with a repeated sentence, and some passages are awkward and difficult to follow. These mistakes severely corrode the quality of this story, and make it difficult for me to recommend this book. The important message trying to find its way to the reader is a redeeming quality, but the distractions take away from this message and make this book one that can be passed over. ( )
