Maverick is a 17 year old who is aware of street life but still in school with an opportunity to go to college. As he starts to think about his next move with his girlfriend Lisa, life throws that curve ball and he’s now faced with life choices.
🍃
Maverick’s dad is in prison (former gang member), his mom is doing her best and in one of the most crucial years of his life he has to determine which path he going to take.
🍃
Concrete Rose was funny and real as hell. As I read it, I was able to visualize it. Imagery!! When you read it, you will understand and in some cases identify the experiences of mistakes, life decisions, family, death & loss and determination. My favourite Character was Mr. Wyatt.
