How can a young boy prove to the world and himself that he is somebody? Yummy is the fictionalized account of the true story of an eleven year old boy who lost everything to become a gangster. Yummy didn't get many chances at happiness in a brief life riddled with abuse and neglect. CNN and news channels across the nation flocked to Chicago in the fall of 1994 to keep vigil as the Chicago Police Department hunted for this child killer. The story of Yummy, as told by Dr. Sue Mahan, is written from Yummy's perspective. Despite its tragic elements, Yummy is a surprisingly uplifting story, one that will permanently elevate the reader's understanding of the human condition.
