Near the end of my book, the main character Ty Johnson is trying to make a valuable decision that can help to save his life and the life of his loved ones. With his partner Sonny dead over a self planned drug deal, and his sweetheart Allyse out of his reach, Ty is becoming concerned and is running out of options. Ty thinks hard before confronting his thug dad, about him quitting the family business and getting his life together. Finally in the last few pages of the novel Ty Johnson makes the right decision and gets his reward, he gets back together with Allyse, he goes back to school and finally organizes his life the right way.

I expected something different in the end of this novel, I thought that there will be another drive by, or a life and death situation, but I was surprised like everybody else was when they read this book. It must of been hard for Ty to walk away from something that he loved, and was good at. In the end he made the right decision and got himself rewarded. The ending of the novel was realistic because Ty gave up something really important to him, and got rewarded with something better.

Characters conflict

In the final section of the book, the main character Ty Johnson is facing many new obstacles including his safety and the safety of his surroundings. Ty's best friend and partner Sonny gets shot and killed over a drug deal, Ty is thinking hard, rather or not he should leave the business, and start a new life. When Ty finally made his decision he went to visit his father in prison and told him that he wants out, his dad started yelling at him and telling him how stupid he is, but i can understand why Ty had no more passion to deal, he lost his best friend Sonny, he lost his girl that he loved, and he just doesn't want to risk anymore.

If you were in Ty's position, would you quit the business, and walk away from all the riches, from your dad who is provoking you to carry on the business, and from everything that you ever did, in order to save your loved ones, and to save yourself?
