About the Book: From Pieces to Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens
This violent and introspective memoir reveals not only 50 Cents story but also
the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and very few options.
It is a tale of sacrifice, transformation, and redemption, but also one of
hope, determination, and the power of self.
Told in 50s unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight, street
wisdom, and his struggle to survive at all costs -- and behold the riches of the
American Dream.
