Book excerpt: The pigeons flying over the Monte Verde Neighborhood toward the low-income housing development known as Masada look no different than other birds at first glance. Hundreds of pigeons fly in and out of the rookeries in Masada every day with little fanfare. What most people don't notice is that a select few carry a secretive cargo strapped to their back. Fifteen-year-old Jesse Kane and his best friend Andy have covertly taken a handful of these pigeons for years so they can sell the cocaine they're transporting. They do it for the money they can bring to help lift them out of their miserably poor lives. Jesse struggles against the life he's been given by his dysfunctional parents and the life he knows exists somewhere. With the help of his girlfriend Lacey he hopes to find it while turning his back on the lifestyle he's always led. This proves to be harder than he ever could've imagined while struggling for more than a new life. He finds himself struggling to stay alive and protect those he loves.
