I Believe to My Soul (ePub)

Jabali Zuberi Limbani grew up in a small southern town in a dysfunctional family with an abusive, alcoholic father and a co-dependent mother who became a single parent dependant on welfare when his parents were forced to separate. Moving to a northern city at age 15 with his mother and siblings, Jabali experienced a number of conflicts living in a broken home and struggling to adapt to a city life without a father.

Undergoing a culture shock and identity crisis, Jabali was initiated into a street life of crime and gravitated to delinquent and criminal behavior, substance abuse and heroin addiction. As a petty thief and small time hustler, he dropped out of school in his senior year when the fast paced, gleam and glamour of street life, quick money, fine women and fast cars took precedent over the three "R's, thinking this was his rites of passage to manhood.

Barely escaping death through shoot outs and shooting up drugs and going in and out of jail like they were mini vacations for crimes ranging from misdemeanors to felony convictions, Jabali's self esteem hit rock bottom in prison when he had to question his own insanity for having a rat as his best friend!
