About this ebook
Marcus White was used to stuffing down tacos, filling up stat sheets and fraternizing with classmates until his dad cursed him with diabetes, or the sugars as his grandmother likes to call it. Before Marcus had the sugars, he was a prep basketball standout with a promising collegiate career upon him; now he’s just a recently dumped, third generation diabetic.
Being barely able to tell the difference between a carb and a carburetor, didn't stop his mother from sending him to Washington D.C to help care for his ill grandmother. In D.C He establishes a deep bond with his grandmother, and learns more then he could have ever imagined about family, friends and himself, enough to question everything.

The sun glazed his dark skin; sweat glowed reflectively while trickling against his chest. Three to four dribbles before he faked right before going left. He blasted past the defender every time. Predictable, but few had the kahunas big enough to stop it.
On the next play he dashed right past his defender, plundered inside the lane, gathered his feet hop stepping into the heavens.
