<p>Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is known as <em>&#39;steel country.&#39;</em> But its name also implies its penchant for producing hard-nosed tough-minded individuals. Who no matter how dark things get always manage to<em> </em>overcome. So it should come as no surprise that 13 year old Derrick is a product of this town. When his mother succumbed to her crack habit Derrick was left as the sole provider for himself and a pair of younger sisters. While simultaneously still in middle school and trying to keep his grades up. One fateful afternoon Derrick is summoned to the principal&#39;s office. As he&#39;s en route the young Pittsburgh native has no idea that once he steps through those doors... his life will <em>never </em>be the same.</p>
