Our children are dying at an alarming rate because of gang violence. Bitter Fruit: The Street Ministry is the story of a 15-year-old girl named Carol who rose in ranks of the Gangster Disciple family organization to become a G-Queen. Destiny thrust Carol into a gangster lifestyle. Sexual abuse caused her to be placed in the foster care system. Carol slid down a slippery slope into the evil perils of gang violence. Although the novel is set in 1994, the lives of these characters reveal the same gangster mindset that young people maintain today.
