Only One Way Out (Chronicles of Iniquity Side Story)

A promise to leave the streets behind…

Jackson never felt cut out for gang life, but when his father walked out, it became the path he chose. After the tragic loss of his mother, the promise he made to her seemed impossible to keep. For a year, he has been on the run, trying to stay true to that vow. But when the past catches up to him and betrayal lands him in jail, his hopes of keeping it seem shattered.

Just when Jackson loses all hope, a church member from his mother’s past steps in, bailing him out and convincing him to spend Christmas in a remote cabin with his unconventional, close-knit family. Surrounded by warmth and acceptance, Jackson envisions a different life. However, as Christmas approaches, the holiday is overshadowed by the threat of danger.

As their lives intertwine, Jackson grapples with the harsh reality that leaving the gang could cost him... and his newfound family, everything. He confronts his past, realizing that when the streets have a hold on you, there’s only one way out.
