The Struggle Never Ends Derrick Freeman

"Young teenager struggles to raise her little brother as their parents chase the next high." When we talk about the struggle, some people seem to get it twisted. They think it's always about doing bad or having nothing, when in reality, it comes down to what you were never able to achieve. It's not always about women, jobs, drugs, or paying the bills. Sometimes, the complexity of road blocks can keep you from reaching essential goals, which leads you to believe that the struggle never ends. Tomeka Knox thought the happy world she lived in would never change until her parents were strung out on drugs and left her to fend for herself while raising her little brother, Gerald. In the streets of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, it's hard to survive and be a young lady blind to the games, deception, and ruthless criminals who lurk and prowl the streets 24/7. Will she overcome the struggle or become another victim of the wicked streets of Baton Rouge? "If a baby raising a baby exists today, tell me what this world is coming to!"
