'Petey' Powell's memoir is the brilliantly illustrated story of how a son's love for his father and family, inadvertently resulted in him making millions in the drug trade in rural North Carolina. 'Big Mike' was the class president of Hallsboro High School's graduating class of 1973, but in a desperate response to southern poverty, chose to sell cocaine as a means of survival. As Fate would have it, that decision would take him from class president to million-dollar hustler, to heroin addict; almost losing it all. The way-of-life he so dearly tried to keep away from his oldest son, would be the way-of-life 'Petey' chose that kept his family from the jaws of poverty, lead to him loving his dad off addiction, and ultimately lead himself and his family members to the federal penitentiary. Everyone makes wrong choices at some point in their lives, but out of over 7 billion people on the planet, not one would choose poverty, especially not for their family. After paying his debt to society, and making amends with God, this is the compelling story of a drug dealer's redemption-the real story.
