When the Streets Call, Don’t Answer

Tyree Turner is a model student, community member and son, who always does what is expected of him. No one would ever suspect him of doing or having anything to do with drugs, which made him perfect as a drug runner according to Uncle Tony, a local businessman who uses his businesses as fronts for his drug operations.

In Uncle Tony’s mind, the plan was perfect except Tyree would never go for it in a million years. After all, he was the local “poster boy” for the Youth Leadership Counsel and peer mentor who at a very young age had prevention engrained in his soul. In an attempt to break the viscous generational cycle of substance abuse and addiction, Tyree’s father enrolled him and his younger brother Omari in Alcoholic Anonymous and other treatment programs while they were just in middle school.

His father, Ned Turner is a 13-year recovering addict, understood all too well the effects of alcoholism, substance abuse and genetics and set out to prevent it from trickling down to his sons.

Stuck in a situation he can’t get out of, Tyree is forced to accept responsibility for his choices, but to what degree?

Find out in this short, thought-provoking, fun and emotion-packed story where readers get the sense of being engaged and find themselves rooting for the protagonist, hoping and praying that he makes the right choice.
