Because of his affiliation with the most notorious drug dealer in Brooklyn, Joshua is widely regarded as a streetwise thug; however, as a Wall Street broker whose best friend is an inspirational church youth leader, deep down inside he’s anything but. Joshua’s world is soon turned upside down, though, when his friend suffers a sudden, tragic death – bringing him to a difficult crossroads in his young life: does he keep moving forward in an effort to do the right thing by himself, his family, and his community – or does he yield to the tempting call of the dangerous streets...?

by their Fruits is an inspiring tale of learning to distinguish between the difficult choices we all must make in life. In Joshua’s case in particular, author K.A. Minton has crafted a symbolic representation of thousands of young African American men who are tempted every day by the destructive lure of urban life; in the absence of positive contravening influences, the temptation can often prove too great, and the considerable potential that lies within such promising young souls is at risk of being lost forever. In light of these circumstances, it is up to the individual to learn to think, act, and fight for himself, recognizing the value of not only his life – but all the lives that his inspiring testimony of survival is yet to touch. As such, by their Fruits provides the reader with a powerful example of the blessings that await those who are willing to go through the fire – and ultimately burn clean. An uplifting, thought-provoking read.
