Description
Dying before birth and then miraculously revived, Alexander Miller's first moments seemed to set the tone for the rest of his life. Taken from a safe and loving environment by their mother, Alex and his sibling's travel back to Chicago. Escaping death numerous times on the egregious streets of Chicago's Southside, surviving the abuse of neglecting caretakers and eventually on the verge of being placed in custody of the state, the ten year old begins to lose many things-including sanity.
Later relocating to California to live with his father, Alex is once again reunited with the more peaceful and tame side of life. Quickly catching on in school and later in sports, his life does a complete 360. Problems after high school arise and seem to almost crush him, however, and see him contemplating life's worth in a mental intervention program.
Through a series of miracles as well as hardships, Alex is taught many lessons in life earlier than most. Stern, yet speckled with humor, The Heart of a City provides an honest, bold and sometimes disturbing look into the life a man with an uncanny story to tell.
