Description
It is 2010. The economy is in shambles and Jimmy James is a homeless felon. Desperate for refuge when his unemployment benefits end, Jimmy faces continual rejection from shelters and employers, leaving him to reconsider the promise he made to God to give up the lucrative life of gangs and drugs. Still, he is a man of his word. Despite the temptation to return to his dark past, Jimmy does his best to avoid the police and stay on a straight-and-narrow path.
Determined to beat the odds, Jimmy finally finds a place to lay his head and a minimum wage job at a packaging company. Regardless of the rejection and judgment he continually must face, he keeps his head held high. When he takes a risky gamble with the money he has saved for housing and heads to New York, Jimmy soon discovers that when it comes to pursuing dreams, it's all or nothing and that sometimes, hope, faith, and new beginnings can arrive in unexpected ways.
Fracas shares the compelling tale of a homeless felon's struggle to recreate his life after prison, pursue his dreams, and overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
