Buckle up. Eric Watts, acclaimed author of Cellar Door, roars onto the nonfiction scene with his explosive debut novel, Little Ghetto Boy. A gripping story inspired by true events rooted in the rich history of New York City during an overlooked time of turbulence, transformation, and untold resilience. Brooklyn, 1980-'90s: Crack smoke lingers in stairwells, sirens echo through cold Winter nights, and at the center is a young mother. Her brilliance is buried beneath mental illness and addiction. Within the chaos walks young Eric, armed only with his faith, a razorsharp mind and an iron will that refuses to die. Told through his eyes, he bears his soul as he recounts the abuse and a son's love that defies all odds. As gangs, poverty, and violence close in, survival becomes an art form, as his dreams are forged in the fires of adversity. Turn each page, smell the summer asphalt and feel the electricity of a city on the brink. Watts' prose is written with poetic grit and honesty; he is a visionary, a fighter, and a storyteller with a unique voice. You will walk the tightrope between hope and despair, flinch at every setback, and crave to know what happens next. This is the book everyone will be talking about. Prepare to be moved. Prepare to be inspired. But most of all, prepare to believe. Anything worth having and worth holding is never easily obtained, but it is always worth pursuing. - Eric Watts www.ericrwatts.com
