So which way will he go, especially when his dad tells him it’s better to be hard and feared than liked?   But if there’s one thing Bryan’s gotten from his comic heroes, it’s that he has power to stand up for what he feels …Torrey Maldonado delivers a fast-paced, insightful, dynamic story capturing urban community life. Readers will connect with Bryan’s journey as he navigates a tough world with a heartfelt desire for a different life.
