Love Ain’t What You Say It’s. What You Do!
In this bold, character-driven novel, Tysheem delivers more than a story—he delivers a movement.
Blending cutting-edge neuroscience, the emerging legal recognition of “Emerging Adults,” and a powerful need for advocacy, this tale dives deep into the gray space between right and wrong, hope and cynicism, justice and survival. At its core, it’s about love—not the version sold in songs or whispered in lust, but the messy, transformative, and at times brutal truth of it.
Yes, there’s passion. There’s pain. There’s even humor wrapped in moments of surrealism. But beneath it all lies a deeper question: What could our world look like if love, justice, and sacrifice actually aligned?
Tysheem doesn’t just tell a story—he issues a Call to Action. With a voice that is at once raw and reflective, he paints a vivid portrait of what’s possible when personal gain takes a back seat to collective change.
Listen to my story!
In October 1997, Skip Clark was killed in York, PA. Police officers decided that the death was gang related, and that two gangs were out for each other after having a dispute. Tysheem Crocker was dragged into the conversation. The State argued that he and others plotted to retaliate against their rival gang, and that Skip was caught in the middle. Despite four witnesses testifying that they knew who the killer was and that it was not Tysheem, and despite the fact that his whereabouts were accounted for at the time of the crime, Tysheem was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
