How do you embrace your father after he cursed you the very moment you were born? How do you embrace the father who abandoned you and your mother, forcing you to grow up in one of the deadliest projects in Balitmore? How do you embrace your father when he returns after you have overcome all odds and reached the pinnacle of success? His work was cut out for him from the moment he was born, saddled with a name spitefully chosen by his misguided father who was determined to temper his infant son for the world that defeated him. Nefarious Trotter’s grooming, by all accounts, should have culminated in a lead role in the underbelly of society. Blessed by a combination of striking good looks, a sculpted body, and disarming charm--while burdened by a hair-trigger temper--he seems bound for a brutal life and a tragic end. But his path is redirected by his unconditional love for his mother and by a surprising series of events that send him suddenly shooting to the top tier of basketball superstardom. With the world at his feet, enjoying dazzling riches and fame, he still faces his own self-destructive patterns, until a life-changing experience leads him to redemption. Nefarious Trotter’s story is a moving one that will rob you of your preconcieved notions and leave you with the optimism that even in the most neglected and violent sections of our society, an unpolished diamond can still find the proper lighting to reflect its true brilliance.

The man in Maryland, who killed his ex-wife, his kids and then himself; that bewildered woman in Detroit, who set her son ablaze because she was go...
