Acting as otomo in the Maui Shunshinkan Dojo, we learn how to serve others without seeking personal credit of any kind. We are providing the kind of service that is often done in such a way as to be completely unknown to others. This can only be born out of a state of mind that is very innocent and highly developed, both at once. This condition is one of those things that, even to know everything about it, is still not to know it at all. This direct and immediate state of mind is the subject of the story. What is it like to live without it, what is it like to live knowing everything about it but still not knowing it at all, and finally directly, tenderly, audaciously connecting with it?

The land of milk and honey, streets paved with gold, and a place your dreams can come true are the illusions of Orange County. But, when you cross to the other side, The Dark Side, life is quite different. On the dark side, allowances given are lines of cocaine. Drive-by shootings are a daily occurrence, and parents are not the protectors but the ones who send you out to score for them.

This was Christopher Curtis' life. Taking the reader to some of his earliest memories and on through his third strike prison sentence, this book is gritty and realistic.

All the systems in place to help the kids who fall through the cracks failed Christopher. As he matures, the addiction, crimes and lifestyle accelerate and degrade. The book contains the despair that, at times, Christopher did not even realize was part of his day. The ups and downs of drugs. The using and selling, the getting away with and being punished for his crimes. The community that revolves around an addict are all exposed in plain language, the original written by Christopher on a typewriter.

What do you do when the deck is not only stacked against you but reinforced with concrete? Survival is the only goal. And survive is what Christopher did. He is here to tell the tale with the hope that someone also on the Dark Side of their street catches a glimpse of themselves and can see the way to a better life.
