Sometimes, fate just has it out for you. Shirley Cox has beaten the
odds to create a successful career in the insurance industry. She
and her fifteen-year-old son, Trumain, are living a comfortable
life filled with promise. Shirley is proud of her son-a bright,
hardworking, and ambitious young man who has earned his place on
the honor roll. But in a heartbeat, everything changes. Shirley
loses her job, and the family is forced to move to Clifton Heights,
a crime-ridden, drug-infested part of town, where neither belongs.
Trumain, struggling to find his way in this new world, begins to
make decisions that worry his mother. When he befriends a star
athlete named Lark, a boy who is banking on his brawn as his ticket
to a new life, Shirley is concerned. The friendship eventually
leads Trumain to make life-threatening decisions about the
relationship with Lark. Incapable of controlling his temper, Lark
is thrown off the basketball team for fighting, and the new best
friends must depend on one another for support. Unable to rise
above the conditions in his environment, Lark becomes a part of the
drug culture he hates. Meanwhile, Trumain fights for his friend and
is soon tested in order to survive conditions they both feel
powerless to control. Hard Ground examines the impossible choices
people make to survive and how friendship can be the most powerful
weapon against despair and fate.
