    About this ebook

    Last Year Before Reality Series

    This is the story of African American youths who are approaching adulthood and independence. Their friendships, experiences with life, love, and tragedy help to prepare them for the road ahead. Their commitment to remain close friends, and overcome unexpected challenges are the recipe for nonstop action.

    Their last year of high school is a series of hope & despair, dreams and disappointments. For some it was their last year of high school - for others it was their last year.
