To fall into the exciting and dangerous life of a street gang member and hit man for the mafia took a natural chain of events for young Xavier, whose uncle and eventual guardian was a big man in the Mexican Cartel. To have survived that life and come out on the other side, a Christian, was nothing short of a miracle. This book alternates chapters between the life of a kid on the streets with all its glory and gore and the reformed life of the adult who strives to help those who are caught in the same web of intrigue, danger, and crime that all too often ends in prison or early death. Young Zavier is rescued from a series of abusive homes only to groom him for a life of crime. Xavier is used, not only as gunman for the Cartel, but also to entice other members of Los Angeles street gangs into working for them as well. Alcohol, drugs, guns, and women look very good to young boys who have no decent home life and suffer hunger and loneliness. This book is a realistic look at what it is really like from the eyes of youth.
