Would you like to take a break from your usual fictional reading and try something a little atypical? Trapped in the Cracks is the only novella written in an unorthodox style of dense rhyme schemes and alliteration. Why would the author write such an unusual book? Because it’s the type of book that he wanted to read. Despite the insistence on rhyming, Trapped is truly an artistic work of fiction in every other aspect, from its unique storytelling to its heartfelt prose. Through the dialogue of its characters, Trapped in the Cracks periodically addresses social issues concerning poverty, drug abuse, and the unbreakable and saddening cycle of gang violence; and even attempts to tackle the question of why some Americans are reluctant to proudly wave their nation’s flag. Looking to read a book that will squint your eyes and twist your mind? Try Trapped in the Cracks.

DESCRIPTION:

Struggle is the only thing that’s guaranteed. But how much struggle would we consider to be obscene? Working a legitimate job in construction to steer clear of his drug-trafficking past, Nick Bernard makes the daring decision to conspire to commit one last illegal act, one intended to change the trajectory of his life and give his family an immediate opportunity to relocate and start a new life of entrepreneurial independence.

While devising a devious plan for a risky heist, an unexpected and heart-wrenching tragedy sets Nick on a quest to settle a score before moving his family across the nation to solace and safety.

On the surface, Trapped in the Cracks is the gripping story of Nick Bernard’s pledge of vengeance for his brutally battered sister-hospitalized by the ruthless kingpin of one of the city’s most notorious organized crime syndicates. Methodically peeling away layers of the characters’ entangled lives, the author exposes the contrasting journeys of struggle plaguing several men and women through the gritty criminal underworld. From the complex challenges of their inner-city upbringings to the serendipitous crossings of their corrupt paths, their intertwining tales are laced with desperation, violence, malice, and hope.
