The Ghetto Ghosts:
"Living a Better Story"
​
Michael H. Odom Sr.
This is a “wisdom of life” filled book that teaches you how to best live life to its fullest — no matter your background or condition. A book packed with real-life lessons and not just myths or some fairy tale, Ghetto Ghosts interweaves relationships, races, classes, culture, families, and history.
It is the story of five people whose paths crossed at a point in time. Who appeared to be different, but yet very much the same. Ghetto Ghosts addresses more of the psychological and emotional effects of life rather than the physical. It is a story told by five high school students and their journey to a town named Goshen. The lives of each character would involve loss, remorse, and harsh realities of life. They discover that the secret to overcoming the Ghetto’s purpose is the proper perspective of the situation with truth and self-introspection. Ghetto Ghosts tells how they developed the ability to move freely in limited space for a limited time before undergoing the re-imagination of their reality.
