A Way of Life: Behind the 8 Ball (Acia Karris Original Book 1)

In the 1990s there was an overwhelming crack epidemic that had begun a decade before. That epidemic affected the United States of America in a major way. Every facet of society was effected. For some it caused higher crime rates because of the addicts it created. For others it caused incarceration due to the quick money that the sale of the poison produced. For Acia Karris it created opportunity and escape from the reality of his past and the present it was creating by the sell and use of the same. Acia thought he was invincible because he sold and smoked crack daily. He had 4 vehicles and 2 apartments on opposite sides of town. He considered himself to be different. He was the only one he knew, that could smoke and sell crack without messing up the money. To his higher ups he was valuable, to his security guard, he was to be envied but, the security guard had a plan to change all of that once the opportunity presented itself. This is that story, the names have been changed to protect the innocent, avoid condemnation of those who would be considered wrong and to protect those who may have trouble hearing about the harsh truth they have been involved in. Give a quick read to the beginning of a true story that will be chronicled in the series to come. Acia grew up in a middle class neighborhood and like many began to smoke marijuana at an early age. The marijuana led to harsher and harsher drugs but, he was very good in sports, respected by all his teachers and seemed to have a pretty good life. He spent time in the military and returned home speaking 3 languages at the age of 24. His personal struggles which began at the age of 4 began to catch up with him. His life was full of drama and chaos but why?
