March 1995. As Raheim âPooquieâ Rivers juggles his increasingly hectic schedule as a supermodel, he is rocked by the news that one of his idols, NWA founder Eric âEazy-Eâ Wright, has AIDS. His complacency shattered, Raheim gets tested for HIV
but keeps it a secret from his boifriend, Mitchell âLittle Bitâ Crawford. Meanwhile, life goes on: his son struggles in a new school and his high school sweetheart falls in love with a new man, while Mitchell becomes concerned about his moodiness
and withdrawal. As he has done so successfully with the other books in the B-Boy Blues series, Hardy draws his fascinating characters into the ferment of urgent societal issues. As the date of his test result draws near, Raheimâs fear and the
ongoing stigma of AIDS push him toward conflicting emotions and decisions.
