From the Projects... to the Projects: My Road to Success - Paperback

by Abidan Padilla (Author)

In the midst of violence and crime there

emerged a highly-motivated and

determined young man

Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Abidan was surrounded by gangs, drugs and daily shootings, a gangster lifestyle.

Then two things happened which convinced him to finally leave the danger of the hoodlum environment.

The first was a chance meeting with a beautiful young woman named Alma, with whom Abidan immediately fell in love.

The second was the shooting and ultimate death of his older brother. This caused each member of both families to make enormous efforts working together to get through the tragedy and its aftermath.

What happened next was an incredible series of events, all driven by Abidan's unstoppable pursuit of his goals and growing power, on a straight line for success.
