Review By: Sylvia Garner

Trapped is a powerful and heartfelt story that takes readers straight into the heart of Chicago’s toughest neighborhoods, where family, relationships, and choices collide in ways that feel all too real. At its center is A.J., a character whose journey reflects both the resilience of strong family values and the struggles of poor decisions that ultimately shape his fate.

What makes this book so compelling is its honesty. A.J.’s triumphs, heartbreaks, and challenges mirror the reality of so many lives, making his story not only relatable but also eye-opening. The way the author weaves together family bonds, community influence, and personal responsibility is raw yet deeply human. You can’t help but see a little bit of yourself — or someone you know — in A.J., which gives this book an emotional weight that lingers long after the last page.

Beyond just being a story of one man, Trapped is also a reflection on the darker side of relationships, family, and community — showing how love, loyalty, and pain can sometimes exist side by side. It’s a cautionary tale, but also a reminder of the strength that comes from family and the importance of the choices we make. For readers looking for a story that is both gripping and deeply human, Trapped delivers a powerful experience that is hard to forget.
