Description
Money Rock is the gripping story-by turns action-packed, uplifting, and tragic-of a striving African American family, swept up and transformed by the 1980s cocaine epidemic. This epic account begins in 1963 when Belton Lamont Platt (who would come to be known as Money Rock) is born in a newly integrated North Carolina hospital to Carrie, an activist mother. It ends with Belton's sons, three of whom die violently as teenagers, and one-his oldest-who's trying to transcend a criminal past in a world where the odds are stacked against him. -- Goodreads
