Synopsis

"Reflects on the tumultous life and times of an African-American youth who was born on a small farm in Georgia--into a loving family that suffered immensely from the ravages of the kinds of social and economic injustice and exploitation that permeated American society during that era. After the untimely death of my mother and my father's subsequent remarriage, my sisters and I were uprooted from rural Georgia and transplanted into the hustle-bustle of big-city life in Brooklyn, New York, where we grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive household at 593 Halsey Street"--
