Elliott E. Alhadeff, author
Clarence McKinsey is imprisoned in the L.A. black ghetto with his drug addicted, prostitute
mother and his infant sister.
His life is the struggle to survive the treachery of his mother, the threats of the local gang, the
care of his sister and his day-to-day existence in the culture of poverty, ignorance and violence.
Then the Geffens, an old Jewish couple - themselves seeking some meaning to their lives - find
Clarence scrounging for food and offer him an escape. But now, both their worlds collide.
Now Clarence must struggle to survive in another battleground - a new white order. What do
they demand? What can he do? What does he need? What will they do for him? What does he
have to do to keep them from sending him back to the ghetto?
As Clarence finds the answers, he loses his fears and recreates himself. But Clarence still has to
overcome the hurdles of those who still see him as black. It’s only when Clarence embraces his
struggle of how he survived the black ghetto, does he come to realize his power to conquer the
white empire.
