In Overbrook Meadows, the colors you wear can determine where you belong-and whether you make it home alive.
Chris Walters has spent his life close enough to the streets to understand them, but far enough away to dream of something better. With college on the horizon, he's determined not to follow the path of his older brother, Kody, a respected gangster whose reputation casts a long shadow.
Mike wants something entirely different. He's tired of being overlooked, tired of being underestimated, and ready to prove that he deserves respect. When one violent decision gives him the notoriety he's always wanted, he discovers that becoming a legend is easier than surviving one.
Dre is caught somewhere in between. Haunted by his failure to protect the person who mattered most, he finds himself consumed by guilt, loyalty, and a thirst for vengeance he can no longer ignore.
As retaliation spreads across Overbrook Meadows, three young men who barely know one another are drawn toward the same inevitable confrontation. By the time their paths finally cross, friendships will be shattered, families will grieve, and the difference between victim and killer will become frighteningly thin.
Because on streets where violence is inherited, sometimes the hardest thing a young man can do is choose a different life.
Colored Rags is a gripping story of brotherhood, revenge, gang culture, survival, and the choices that determine whether we inherit the violence of those who came before us-or finally break the cycle.
