Crayon is just fifteen when she's lured onto the track by Phenomenal-a ruthless pimp and head-busting shot-caller who controls his corner of East Oakland with drugs, guns, and fear.
Her desperate grandmother knows there's only one man who can save Crayon: Firstborn Walker. A year removed from the crack-dealing life, Firstborn has built a quiet, respectable existence far from the streets that nearly killed him. But Ms. Holmes' plea forces him back into a world he swore he'd left behind.
Phenomenal isn't just a pimp-he's a predator with a grip on the streets, a drug-dealing gun-runner with soldiers who do his bidding without question. To face him, Firstborn may have to do the one thing he dreads most-reconnect with his old best friend Drama and risk being pulled back into the bloody orbit of the Black Christmas Mob.
Will he rescue Crayon before it's too late? Or will the streets reclaim him forever?
Raw, unflinching, and packed with heart-pounding tension, Straight Outta East Oakland: Trapped on the Track is a gripping tale of redemption, loyalty, and the high price of survival.
