Sinossi
Childhood doesn't hand you an ID authorizing you to carry weight; it just hands you the weight.
Before the test scores, before the gifted labels, and before the world learned his name, Corey Delithius Thompson was a kid trying to decode the calculus of survival. Spanning the raw, noisy blocks of Alpha Arms, downtown Goldsboro's legendary Kornegay Street, and the suburban shifting of Winslow Circle, Damn... Did You Win? is a gripping, unvarnished memoir of what it really takes to grow up sharp in a world that tries to box you in.
In these pages, the dual currencies of a young life collide. This is the story of a boy who pulled straight A's and dominated Academically Gifted (A.G.) classrooms, yet had to master the physical and psychological defense mechanisms required to navigate schoolyard fights, family loss, and institutional disbelief. From learning the clipper economy in his parents' kitchen and running makeshift communication networks beneath a bunk bed to facing down bullies and carrying the silent, heavy vest of grief after the loss of his baby brother Brook, every room served as a classroom.
Stripping away the sanitized nostalgia of traditional memoirs, this book reveals how a child builds an impenetrable shield to protect his perimeter when the environment demands toughness.
Step into the rooms where the armor was forged, and discover what happens when a mind built for the battlefield refuses to break.
