What If You Really Are Your Brother’s Keeper?

The Masons know what it means to struggle. Pat, a single mother of two boys, struggles to keep her household together without any guidance or financial support from their father. Her greatest dream is to keep her family respectable and close-knit, but that feels like an insurmountable challenge. Her older son, Greg, decides to take matters into his own hands, and turns to the streets. His idealistic younger brother has the potential to do and be more, but clashes with his strong-willed brother create chaos in the family. As Greg becomes overconfident, he lives increasingly on the edge—he’s a shot-caller and a force to be reckoned with, but he is playing a dangerous game that could have fatal consequences. Will the Mason family learn in time that love, and only love, can level the odds and save their family? Sweet Dope is a hard-hitting, realistic, ultimately redemptive novel that will engage your heart and soul.
