Seoul Revelations Bobby Cenoura

Publisher Marketing: Marcus Richardson wants to escape the snares of the inner city. Growing up with a strong work ethic, he proves to be an industrious young man. He reconnects with Kim Han, a young Korean American college woman whose father runs Sunbeam Market, the neighborhood corner store. Marcus builds a friendship of trust and fresh perspective with Kim, which threatens to be something more, save for other challenges that occur in Marcus' life: his best friend and a neighborhood thug. Marcus must manage his best friend Tyrell Jones' emotions because Tyrell feels that he lives his life in Marcus' shadow. Worlds collide when Neighborhood thug, Delonte Harris needs to recover money that he cheated a local kingpin out of. Delonte sets his sights on Sunbeam as a target for a robbery to recover the money and gets Marcus indirectly involved. Interaction beyond the bulletproof glass that divides Black customers and Korean merchants is what drives SEOUL REVELATIONS. Race, culture and inner city survival are examined and revealed. It takes place in late 90s, Washington D. C., which was recovering from the crack epidemic and the label of murder capital.
