Addicted to the streets

About the Book

After spending his whole life working hard to earn his place in the streets, Joseph McCauley is realizing there isn’t nearly as much love there as that he got from his most loyal friend, Tim Green, A/K/A “Tim Dog” who introduced him to one of the realiest hoods in Syracuse.

When Joseph tries to change after finding the woman that he’s always wanted, Ms. Melissa Hollister, things became a problem. He can’t seem to find a job with his long criminal record, and the streets is calling him. Missy truly tried to keep him from the life of crime that eventually grabs her up as well.

Living in a world filled with both exotic and erotic sex, violence, disloyalty and drug dealings, Joseph becomes the clear focus of street violence. He has been shot at and stabbed multiple times by people who envy him for his known place in the game. None of this stops Joseph. In fact, Joseph doesn’t stop despite the fact that the FEDS just picked up a four year old gun charge against him. He soon began to realize that his loyal woman and precious children are far too important to him to ever lose. Joseph truly makes another attempt to change. A paradigm change which came too late. Joseph never thought he would be betrayed by the disloyalty of a family member and many others, which helped the Government trap him and then lied to him about their assistance in the Government’s web of justice.

About the Author

This is a story about a young man named Joseph McCauley who grew up in a dysfunctional family. Likewise, it is the story of a young man who turned to the hard knock life of the streets of Syracuse, New York to get what he thought was friendship and loyalty. Unfortunately, he found that being white and living in the hood, it wasn’t easy to survive, so he had to work that much harder, in order to gain the finer things in life his friends had growing up. He learned many lessons in order to get where he did and earn the trust of others. When he thought he had what he wanted, he learned there were others, including the law, who wanted the same things he had and that they wouldn’t stop until they had it. What he did not realize nor expect, was that the people he grew to trust should of never been trusted in the beginning for they was willing to go to the extremes of snitching on him in order to claim his spot in the game and take him out the streets, “by any means necessary!”
