Woes of a Lonely Child

Beschreibung

This is a story about a man named King who transformed an abusive childhood into a criminal enterprise worth millions. He left home with his younger brother when they were teenagers to escape constant hunger and violent abuse of their mother. They used what they learned from their mother and their criminal step-father to build an income through armed robbery and murder. During one big robbery, they were caught and king's brother and most of his gang members were killed. King went to jail and was sentenced to death for his crimes. Just as his execution was about to take place, he was rescued by the remaining member of his gang. King then went on to start a new criminal enterprise in a new location. He later discovers that he has family connections to both the police officer who killed his brother, and the judge who sentenced him to death. King's school days is the most amazing part of the story.
