Description of A House Is Not a Home: A B-Boy Blues Novel
In this final chapter in James Earl Hardy’s groundbreaking B-Boy Blues series, Mitchell "Little Bit" Crawford and Raheim "Pooquie" Rivers are all grown up. Mitchell is a stay-at-home dad renovating his dream house, writing, and raising his godson and half-sister in Brooklyn’s up-and-coming Fort Greene neighborhood. He’s fairly happy, but he can’t help feeling that something — or someone — is missing from his life.Fresh from rehab for a gambling addiction, Raheim has a new lease on life, but it’s precarious — his career as an actor has stalled, he hasn’t seen his son in years, and the short-lived sexual trysts that punctuated his life no longer satisfy him. Hell-bent on change, Raheim has finally figured out who he wants to be with forever. But will Mitchell give Raheim the second chance he so desperately wants?
