Death Around the Corner: A Memoir of Survival, Accountability, and Choosing Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250252249)

By the age of twelve, a gun had been pointed at my face. By my teens, violence, loss, and survival were routine in South Central Los Angeles. Friends were murdered. Loyalty dissolved under pressure. Trauma became normal-and numbness felt like strength.

Death Around the Corner is not a story that glorifies gang life. It is an unfiltered memoir of what it costs.

With clarity and restraint, Adrian Lewis traces his journey from a childhood immersed in violence to adulthood shaped by reflection and accountability. Forced to confront the difference between being a victim and becoming a survivor, he begins to see that survival alone is not enough.

This book is ultimately about transformation.

When he began to see himself as a survivor, victimization ended. Accountability replaced excuses. Awareness replaced numbness. And healing-slow, deliberate, and honest-became possible.

Death Around the Corner is a memoir of survival, accountability, and choosing life.
