Three The Hard Way — Tracie Loveless-Hill

Generational trauma is all that Kourtney has ever known. Her mother Ethel had grown up in the treacherous Calico projects and Kourtney, who had believed she would do better in life, found herself following in the same footsteps: unmarried and raising her own three sons in those same deadly projects. First she, then her children grew up in the harsh environment of the Calico surrounded by violence, drugs and death, and there seems no way out. Kourtney watches helplessly as each of her sons are lost to the streets, knowing that the most likely route for any of them will include prison or death. Generational curses need to be broken; but knowing nothing other than dysfunction, what can Kourtney do? In a downward spiral where life seems at its lowest sometimes there is nowhere else to go but up, and Kourtney learns that redemption is not easy, but it is possible-even for Three The Hard Way
