When a young man grows up with advantages—a good home, good parents, and educational opportunities—the last thing one would expect him to do is to embrace the thug life. That's exactly what Dr. Anthony Dixon did. During his years as a student at Florida A&M University, he straddled two worlds: the world of academia and the world of the streets. The streets would eventually lead him to a place he didn't want to be.Dixon went straight from obtaining a university degree to state prison, where he spent five-and-a-half years examining his life. And what faith and introspection taught him, took him all the way to the hallowed halls of Indiana University - where he earned a Ph.D.Written in a gritty, compelling voice, this cautionary tale boldly crosses class lines, appealing to teens and adults alike. His story will change the way you think about the life choices you make.

His strange teammates are on the loose - somewhere - and causing all kinds of chaos. In the meantime, his rugby career has taken a nosedive. Now Dad's gone missing, booted out of the Aberscary club by members unhappy with Arwel's performance. To add to the confusion, there's a mysterious figure haunting the Millennium Stadium . . . Who - or what - is it looking for?
