By the time they finish reading Acholi My Lover Part 2: Deeply Rooted they'll know what makes her resilient.

With firsthand knowledge of the streets of New Orleans, this author step decided to cook up a mixture of the culture and soul of the crescent city into an urban masterpiece. In other words, Street Gumbo! His motivation is to bring his city’s culture and way of life to a forefront that’s never been done before. His aspirations are never to glorify but rectify a stigma that has been placed on his unique origin of people. His plight will definitely be felt through the many pages he has inked through his many years of writing. He writes with a flavor that solidifies his readers with a “Once You’re In, YOU’RE IN” motto! This is just the beginning of a Reign that won’t end even when the last remnants of ink spills from his pen. Even then his words will live on… Unlike other writers, he has lived everything he has written and suffered many grueling consequences from his impulsive actions. Now he’s determined to utilize all of his experience and create worlds of soul gripping tales that will leave his readers thirsting for more…

Stay tuned, because the ride has just begun.
