Diamond in the Rough is a story of a young man's journey through a traumatic childhood, having to take on the responsibility of caring for his family by whatever means necessary. As a young child at the age of four, characterize life story by the age of fourteen placed in juvenile hold over detention for three years until he reached the adult age of seventeen, where he was officially an adult who served thirteen years out of a twenty-five-year prison sentence. It is raw gritty but truthful from an individual point of view. There are moments you will laugh and cry.
