Summary
Cheekie: A Child Out of the Desire is a tale of hope as it chronicles one boy's journey through the Desire Project, a violent community in the 9th Ward section of New Orleans where he was born and raised. Endorsed by the late Dr. Maya Angelou, Cheekie brings it all to life: the abuse and the love; the neglect and the nurturing and how one boy overcame violence and poverty to achieve great success.©1998 Clarence Nero (P)2027 Recorded Books African American Coming of Age Genre Fiction
