Chadenia Johnson wants to provide for the grandmother who raised him, the woman he loves, and her younger brother to keep him off the streets. Going to college and working at a fast-food restaurant doesn t seem to be cutting it. When Chad connects with his childhood best friend again, he discovers a way to make more money than he ever thought possible. This means endless sacrifice and leading a double-life his girlfriend wouldn't approve of if she found out. In the triumphant and raw Gleden Oaks by Jeremiah Jones, Chad faces trials and may lose everything he cares about in the process unless he can discover what it really means to be a man.
