Book Description
Omar Johnson, also known to the hood as O, had a dream a little different from most kids his age. While most kids had 'hoop' dreams, Omar had his eyes set on the top position in the drug game. Omar felt in his heart that he could be the biggest dope boy his city had ever laid eyes on. He also felt as though the dope boys before him were stupid and he wouldn't go out like them; or at least hoped he wouldn't. One thing was for sure, Omar had his mind made up: he was going to be Rich or get 100 hundred years in prison trying. The question is, will O see his dream come true, or will he wake up and realize that this cold world has enough young men and women throwing their lives away chasing that same dream, before it's too late?
