Nigel Hawkins was one of the biggest drug dealers in Baltimore
City. However, after years of drug use and resorting to crime to
support his habit, he catches a charge that lands him in jail to
serve a lengthy prison sentence. When he returns to society, he is
drug-free and now a born again Christian. Nigel is also determined
to reconnect with his son, JR, who has followed in his footsteps by
getting caught up in the drug game. JR is torn between his love for
the thug life and the love that he harbors deep inside for his
father, who seeks to redeem his soul from his sinful ways. What
unfolds in this story is a host of real life events that force both
men to make gut wrenching decisions that will forever alter the
course of both of their lives. Just Like Daddy gives you a gut
wrenching picture of the impact of generational curses on the lives
of Black men who are forced to survive in the midst of the tangled
web of drugs, crime, and poverty that engulf the inner cities of
America. It also touches on the power of spirituality and
redemption in breaking down these obstacles. Thomas Long pulls no
punches in delivering the realist depiction and insight into the
life of a drug addict since Donald Goines' Dopefiend. He brings you
his own unique brand of educational urban fiction with a twist that
is sure to create an emotional connection between the reader and
the main characters as the plot thickens. This book is a must read
for any father seeking to undo years of absence from the life of
his male child in making an effort to work towards developing a
healthy father son relationship in the face of insurmountable odds
and social pressure.
