“I have sat with the mothers who have lost addicted sons. I have sat with families of kids who have been killed in drug-related gang violence. I have been to the prisons. I have seen the effects. At some point in time, I felt I had to do something other than write a novel about it, that I needed to try to make some sort of contribution, at least try to make some sort of difference in the real world.” WorldWritingTryingHas BeensRealKidsMotherLostFeltDifferencesNovelViolenceEffectsSonNeededDrugPrisonSatRelatedContributionReal WorldGangGang Violence Author:Don Winslow

I don't think these sons and daughters of drug dealers are contributing to a lasting peace nor to human values that add to our society.
