Chapter One — The Dream...

Length1h 14m

About this audiobook

A Brooklyn teen, Brandon, wakes to a shaking bed and an ancestral Goblin warning that danger is coming, pushing him to train his nerves into a compass with Uncle Rashad’s “left-side watcher” calm. HIs mother Tasha’s hard-won intuition, and rituals that turn panic into presence—As the Goblin’s message slows from Swahili into plain speech, Brandon learns to move with presence over rage through hallways, courts, and city streets, setting rooms before they set him. Nights at the barbershop with Ms. Althea become a school for steadiness; days test him with shiny invitations, old fears, and the gravity of a father’s return. Threaded through Rashad’s 80s near-misses and Tasha’s one costly mistake, a mantra takes root—What follows is a charged walk toward a confrontation where breath, timing, and lineage decide who holds the center.
