In this sequel to the heartfelt, life changing hit novel Just Like Daddy, we are drawn deeper into the lives of the Hawkins men, Nigel and JR. Nigel, the recovering addict and convicted felon, has transformed himself into a God fearing, successful family and business man who is respected by the community. JR, on the other hand, undaunted by the tragic events of his past, has become more deeply entrenched in the thug lifestyle as the head of the Money Kings drug family. His every thought and emotion is consumed with the quest for more money and power. Unexpected life events and careless choices lead their worlds to collide and pit father against son once again in this emotionally charged drama. Money Kings leaves no stone unturned or boundary uncrossed in this epic street tale. Readers will not be disappointed as they become more deeply engulfed in the lives of the Hawkins men and their vastly different, yet connected worlds. Brace yourself for the action and expect the unexpected to go down. Thomas Long has turned it up a notch to bring his readers another controversial, true to life urban literary classic.

Just Like Daddy gives you a gut wrenching picture of the impact of generational curses on the lives of Black men who are forced to survive in the midst of the tangled web of drugs, crime, and poverty that engulf the inner cities of America. It also touches on the power of spirituality and redemption in breaking down these obstacles. Thomas Long pulls no punches in delivering the realist depiction and insight into the life of a drug addict since Donald Goines’ Dopefiend. He brings you his own unique brand of educational urban fiction with a twist that is sure to create an emotional connection between the reader and the main characters as the plot thickens. This book is a must read for any father seeking to undo years of absence from the life of his male child in making an effort to work towards developing a healthy father son relationship in the face of insurmountable odds and social pressure.
