So I Can Walk Through Walls Walter Retlaw

Daniel Bell tells his story, So I Can Walk Though Walls, as an ?autobiography? of a Black Hip Hop artist who can mentally neutralize his body?s atoms enabling them to slide though anything, including bullets, fists and prison walls - anything made of matter. Through study and experimentation, Daniel Bell is the first to unlock this natural, human ability, but only when he believes in himself, not a higher power. The ability to move through anything gives rise to the smooth flow of an aspiring rapper, who quickly catapults to the elite stratosphere of pop culture. The love for his daughter forces his hand in a moment of rage, which leads authorities to charge him with two counts of murder. Bell, the platinum-selling rapper, must slide though the grips of the FBI and the US Justice System in order to continue his Hip Hop lifestyle. His fictional story feels a lot like a nonfiction confession, Beyond the fascinating events of Daniel Bell?s life story, Walls portrays the undercurrents of race, drugs, poverty and violence and their impact on a young man. Raised by a single mother, Bell learns that humans are imperfect but love and loyalty are sometimes the only qualities that matter. Beyond the Hip Hop persona and flamboyant lifestyle, Daniel Bell is revealed as a complex and flawed man who engages the reader to take a deeper look at life.
