Ghetto Cowboy (the inspiration for Concrete Cowboy)

Now a feature film, Concrete Cowboy, starring Idris Elba

"Original in theme and inspirational in tone and content." -- Booklist

From a Coretta Scott King Author Award Honor winner comes a street- smart tale about a displaced teen who learns to defend what's right -- the Cowboy Way. Inspired by the little- known urban riders of Philly and Brooklyn, this compelling tale of latter- day cowboy justice champions a world where your friends always have your back, especially when the chips are down.
