Synopsis
From the Projects to the Penthouse As the only Jewish family in the Ramona Gardens housing projects, Kenny tells the spellbinding story of being the oldest child of two small-time carnival thieves who make their living as traveling gypsies and then graduate to dealing heroin from their cockroach-infested apartment. It's an inside view of carnival life, of living in a cocaine-selling shooting gallery apartment and of surviving a gang-dominated existence in one of L.A.'s worst neighborhoods. It's also a story of the grit and determination of one small child, a child named Kenny Kahn, who saw education and hard work as the golden path and the only sure way to escape his tortured environment. Mr. Kahn has written his story in plain language in order to make it easily readable not only adults but by young people who feel trapped by their delinquent parents, and to offer hope for escaping to a better life.

  • Inspiration for young people overcoming "delinquent parents"

    This book is written in simple language to reach and inspire young people who may be living in difficult conditions or in dysfunctional families led by "delinquent parents." The author was raised by heroin addicts, but through mentoring by his teachers, especially in high school, he discovered that education and literacy were a powerful path to a better life. This true story shares the reality that the power to rise above your circumstances lies within you, and that when you truly try, your own efforts will lead to opportunities , mentors and accomplishments.
