Book excerpt: Before they were torn down in 2007, the Stateway Gardens public housing projects on Chicago's South Side were known as a hot-bed of poverty, drugs, gangs, and crime. To Tracy, a shy, intelligent young boy, they are simply home. Set in the mid-1980s, this collection of linked short stories gives an intimate look at the hopes, dreams, failures and fortunes of a group of people growing up with the deck always stacked against them. -- adapted from jacket
