Description

In this gripping urban fiction novel, meet Ahmir and Ahmad Pierson, the teenage offspring of Newark's notorious ghetto legend, Donald 'Cashmere' Pierson. Raised in the shadow of their father's ghetto fame and admiration, the Pierson brothers have always held their father in high regard.

But their lives take a dark turn when they witness a horrifying event that leaves them traumatized. The experience affects them in opposite ways, highlighting the age-old adage: 'For every action, there is an opposite, but equal reaction.'

Ahmir, drawn into the world of the Blood gang, seeks love and respect in all the wrong places. His anger and frustrations find an outlet in clashes with rival gang members and anyone who crosses his path. He's on a relentless quest to establish a name and reputation equal to that of his father, Cashmere.

What fate awaits these two traumatized teens consumed by vengeance? Will their future be defined by their thirst for revenge, or can they find a path to redemption? Explore the gripping world of family legacy, urban drama, and the consequences of choices in this compelling sequel.
