In 1995, one year before Tupac Shakur was shot dead in Las Vegas, he was jailed for two months inside New York City''s notorious Rikers Island. While there, he received a letter from a stranger - Angela Ardis, acting on a casual bet with her friends. She included her photo and phone number... and soon found herself answering a call from Tupac himself. Remarkably, their near-daily contact grew into a complex kinship of souls that neither could define - and touched both in unexpected ways. Alive in letters and original poems - some available nowhere else - Tupac''s ever-relevant heart beats within these pages. Playful, sensual, and serious, he gives insightful observations on music, prison, and life''s uncertainties - and his dreams for a future that would soon be tragically cut short. In this moving, one-of-a-kind tribute, generations of fans can experience a profound connection to the mind and unbroken spirit of a passionate, unpredictable musical icon.
