What would you do if you found out your son had been murdered in a senseless act of street violence? Would you isolate? Would you grieve with your loved ones? Or maybe you just might seek vengeance? From the first page, Chasm takes you into a world that few enter willingly and many must live in involuntarily. It is a dual story - it follows a courageous woman named Mary Jefferson who decides to channel her grief into fighting to take back her Chicago neighborhood from the local gangs while it also follows the gangs as they fight to counter the efforts being taken to eliminate them. This battle escalates into one final confrontation - and the outcome is not the one you would expect. One thing is for certain - Chasm will make you think twice about some of the choices you make for yourself in the future.
