Melvin Juette has said that becoming paralyzed in a gang-related shooting was 'both the worst and best thing that happened' to him. The incident, he believes, surely spared the then sixteen-year-old African American from prison and/or an early death. It transformed him in other ways, too. This title re-constructs the defining moments of his life.
