No Love Lost (No Love Lost)
The author, J. W. Smith, captures the street life of a young man with
similarities resembling his own life, beginning with the early childhood
of Lil Jay and on into his manhood.
Finally Smith brings the gut-wrenching truth of rigid living in a ghastly neighborhood and a twist of enlightenment to urban literature.
Lil Jay is a young man growing up in the urban lifestyle of “gang life” in
the early 1990s and late 1980s. The streets of Los Angeles, California, took
power over his mind at a young age, yet he still manages to prevail from the
uncertainty of life that only his hood could offer. With a drunken cracked-out
trick for a father and a mother ready to thrash anyone who crosses her path, a
troubled home life left him with very minimal options for his future. As a result,
Lil Jay only had the streets to call home and the hood as his family. Crossing
paths with sex and women, death and murderers, drug dealers and junkies,
prostitutes and pimps, somewhere along the way he finds his true path. The
sister of his mentor, Charlette, a high-class, well-educated woman, intrigues
his inner thoughts. Finding himself with a long-term prison sentence, Jay
never anticipated what would be waiting for him on the outside. Perseverance
took control of his mind and bestowed upon him a different light, allowing him
to flourish into a new man in God’s glory.
Lil Jay.Lil Jay started his street career at the age of seven. At thirteen he considered himself The Man. Not surprising, since he grew up in a dysfunctional household where his dad is a womanizer and mom is always beating on her husbands mistresses.

Now Fat Cash was cool with adding Jay to his team under one condition; stay in school and graduate. After one false start
Gang by definition means a groups of persons having informal and usually close social relations. One definition of family is a group of people united by certain convictions or a common affiliation. Most that are in gangs consider themselves family because they are all each other have, they stick together, they are as one, they have each other backs and no one can come between them.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though it was fiction, the real world events were just really something to read and digest. I thought it was very well written and flowed very well. Recommended book!
Great read.
Can you say motion picture? Because that is the future I see for this book. When I first opened up this book it was a quote that the author stated saying, "No Love Lost Transitioning to Manhood Through the Rigid Life of the Streets.. And as I completed this book the author was so right on the money with that statement. This is truly a story of three very hood fellows by the names of Jayson, Casper, and Q. Growing up in the ruff streets of Los Angeles can be pretty tough especially when you only
