Author's Note:
This story is a blend of fiction and non-fiction. Some chapters are inspired by real letters written to me by my nephew in September and August of 2009, while others come from my own experiences and imagination. Together, these true and imagined moments create a portrait of survival, family, and street life.
UnSaid Story Of Chico is an authentic urban drama based on the real life of my nephew, Robert V. Carstarphen aka Chico, a street fashion icon from Camden, NJ. Tall, handsome, and magnetic, blessed with perfect looks, and always impeccably dressed in the freshest streetwear. His style and confidence made him stand out wherever he went. The ladies are crazy over him. He made each one feel special. Chico's friends often tried to be him, imitating his unique swag and style. They admired his confidence and the way he carried himself, but no one could truly match the original Downtown's Finest.
Their attempts to copy him only fueled their jealousy even more. Their envy grew quietly, turning admiration into resentment this is more than just a story. It's a tribute to Chico's resilience, charisma, and the harsh realities of the streets that shaped and, in the end, took him.
