Lust, Hustle, & Trust (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545100882)

This story is based on actual events. Rodney Jackson aka Black Jack was groomed by his dad, Big Sam to be a hustler and molded by his mother, Janice to be a player. Although he suffered from a case of self-consciousness growing up caused by his dark complexion, Rodney quickly gained confidence as his money increased. Living a double life as a supervisor for the postal office by day and a lieutenant over a neighborhood street organization on Chicago's west side by night. His rocky relationship with his mother plagues Rodney with trust issues concerning women until he meets Chanae, a young, witty, down to earth, girl from the neighborhood with a smart mouth. Chanae is mentally sharper than the typical girls Rodney's used to encountering, yet she lacks male guidance when it comes to picking the right type of guys. Rodney takes her under his wing and teaches her the game. They both gradually form a brother and sister type of bond until they venture off beyond their set boundaries. In the meantime Rodney's low key hater cousin, Teddy does anything and everything in his power to try to discredit and tear apart everything Rodney has built. Rodney is ultimately faced with a difficult dilemma that may cause him to have to shed blood. The whole way he tries to practice the three principles that his mentor, Larry Love taught him when he was coming of age; when to love, what to hustle, and whom to trust.
