    About this ebook

    A Brownstone in Brooklyn revolves around the ordinary,day-to-day events in the life of Andy Michael Pilgrim and the residents of a Gates Avenue Brownstone. It seems to be a normal place to live until you learn about the plots against Andy and the residents.
    Andy is a strong black male growing up in the turbulent sixties. He has to overcome the odds to graduate from college and pursue his career as a sportswriter with The Washington Star. Andy is the pride of the residents and this causes simmering jealousy in another young resident.
    The events flow to a climax as Andy survives the takeover of his college, the race riots in his neighborhood, and an attempt on his life. Andy is physically attacked and a needle, overflowing with drugs, is thrust in his veins. Survival is not assured.

      I was promised a girl held her glossy image, shatterable, ice skating on a Soviet pond. I’d never seen snow but for the cut out paper flakes hung in school hallways. I only knew rain as intermittent confusion. Los Angeles in the ’80s. We set fire to
