That Life "Prophecy Of A Hustler"

by A.R. Hilton

Overview

Set in the mid-eighties this thrilling and heart-felt story follows two childhood friends, Kamari and Mink. One scarred by poverty and love, the other by fatherlessness and a mother's addiction. Together they find themselves entrenched in a life that is easily accessible to many young people when choices are limited and dreams are lost or die out-right in young eyes that have been scorned by the images and conditions of their environments, forcing them to make life choices without fully understanding life. This is their story, their strengths, their weaknesses, their pains, and ability to survive. This is their choice; THAT LIFE.

Editorial Reviews

It's hard to say exactly what THAT LIFE: PROPHECY OF A HUSTLER was about other than to say it's set in the eighties in Mount Vernon, New York, and follows the life of Kamari, a young man that despite his age is a man of the world. He has a crew of friends and this is their life...

A.R. Hilton is a great writer. This book was a total deja vu for alot of us who grew up in the 80's. It was exciting and left you wanting more. I finished it in one day because I just couldn't put it down. Each time I thought that I had the story figured out, a new twist would occur which made me want to read more and more. I loved all of the characters but Kamari was my favorite. I'm so looking forward to this author's next piece of work. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!
