Preview: Hear it

Nate Whitelys life at a prestigious prep school in upstate New York takes him far from his Harlem home but not so far as to sever the strong bond he has to his neighborhood. Like his prep school friends, Nate is doing well academically and has his sights set on college. But complications from one life intrude into the other. His childhood friend Hustle wont give up his streetsmart ways and doesnt want Nate to either. Nates older brother, Eli, just cant seem to keep things together and is headed for major trouble. Will Nate be able to sustain these powerful ties without jeopardizing all that hes achieved? This provocative story about a young man straddling two very different worlds unfolds against a backdrop of brotherhood and betrayal, friendship and loyalty, and captures the dilemma of those who would carve out a unique destiny for themselves.
