After pulling himself out of poverty and shame, Elijah Tucker finds he's yanked back to the South Side of Chicago by a man he never saw coming. More
Sometimes, You Can
Having it all is hard work, and Elijah Tucker has no problem 24/7-ing to keep himself on top. But life has a sense of humor and a big-ass mirror that reminds Eli where he came from, and shows him what he's really made of when he meets Gideon Valsecchi.
Gideon Valsecchi has one life goal - get out of the shithole where he lives on the South Side of Chicago. To say life has been unkind is a joke he can't even laugh at; to say he's going to have to claw his way out is a reality that nearly crushes him every day. But...he has a secret weapon, and he's learning how to hone his skills. Yet, hope is a feeling he won't indulge in until he gets to know Elijah Tucker, who shows Gideon there is an out, and it can include love.
Becoming more than your circumstances is hard, especially when life on the South Side of Chicago keeps pulling you down. But guts, talent and grit can get you up and out.
