About the Book

“In The Red Line Train” tells the story of a pastor and social worker in a South-East Washington DC Recreation Center, who helps youth stand out from juvenile delinquency and drugs. Pastor Harry White uses the gospel of Christ and social supervision in his counseling sessions.

After having met the young Pastor White in a Red Line Train to DC, Grace, a single teen-age mother who has dropped school to sell drugs for her boyfriend, decides to change her life. This decision will force both of them to go in the hiding and put their lives and their parents’ ones in real danger. In this perilous endeavor, pastor White will team up with MPD commissioner, Ted Bright, to face the challenges, taking high risk for their lives.
