You Still Got A Chance Two stories, One legacy - Paperback

by Keenan Derry (Author)

They don't tell you how close it really is. How thin the line can be between the life you're living and the life you almost lived. Where I'm from, nobody grows up thinking they'll become a statistic. You just grow up adapting - learning how to move, how to survive, how to stay alert. You learn early that hesitation costs you, and silence doesn't always mean safety. This isn't a story about perfection. It's not about escaping where you come from. And it's definitely not about pretending the streets don't leave marks. This is a story about choice. About what happens when you realize that survival can't be the finish line - and that staying alive is only the beginning of responsibility. You'll read about mistakes. You'll read about pressure. You'll read about people who stood at crossroads and chose differently - not because it was easy, but because repeating the same outcome felt worse. Some of these moments are uncomfortable. Some are heavy. If you've ever felt boxed in by your environment, if you've ever wondered whether change was still possible after certain doors closed, or if you've ever questioned whether discipline could really outweigh circumstance - This book is for you. Because as long as you're breathing, thinking, and willing to choose again, you still got a chance
