A True Story of Survival, Faith & Resilience in 1980s Brooklyn
Buckle up.
Eric Watts, acclaimed poet and author of Cellar Door, roars onto the nonfiction scene with his gripping debut novel, Little Ghetto Boy—inspired by true events.
Brooklyn, 1980s–90s. Crack smoke lingers in stairwells, sirens echo through the night—and at the center is a young mother whose brilliance is buried beneath mental illness and addiction. Through the eyes of young Eric, a boy armed only with faith and an iron will, we witness a son’s love that defies all odds.
Told with unflinching honesty, this powerful story explores the fire-forged dreams of a child surrounded by gangs, poverty, and violence. A story of pain, grit, and ultimate triumph.
