Face Value Land of Lincoln
The world appraised each the moment they were born.  While Walter Samson IV stands to inherit his family’s empire, Teyshawn Jones fights every day for a slim chance at a future.  Neither can afford to stray from the narrow path before them, yet what each truly wants is the freedom to walk side-by-side.
Note: This story begins four-and-a-half years after Kept Boy to Made Man and seven months after Souris lands in Chicago.  While it is not necessary, it is recommended you read those stories first as an introduction to the Land of Lincoln and many returning characters.
This story contains references to racism, child exploitation, abuse, abandonment, bigotry, drugs, gangs, and assault. Mature language and themes appear throughout including sex, offensive language, racial slurs, violence, gore, and death.
Reader discretion is advised.
