THE STORY

About the Book

Briscoe and Neno want out of the streets — but the streets don't let go that easy.

LIT is a story of two young men chasing a way up, and the price of getting it. From street-corner stickups to a bank lick that leaves a man dead on the lobby floor, Briscoe and Neno keep reaching for more — and the game keeps raising the stakes.

A Jamaican connect. Fifty pounds a drop. Hood rich overnight. But in the streets, money brings vultures, old enemies want revenge, and somebody has been watching every single move.

Loyalty gets tested. Ambition gets dangerous. And in a world where everyone's playing for keeps, the only thing more dangerous than the game is not knowing who's running it.

THE CHARACTER

Mrs. Betty

The Matriarch

“Y’all are kings, and don’t let nobody tell you different.”

The Godmother of the block. From her kitchen table Mrs. Betty fed the neighborhood, took in its children, and raised a generation on one law: you are kings, and don’t let nobody tell you different. Grown men still steer by her word — and dread her disappointment more than the streets.
