Caprice Dreams: An American Tragedy

About the book

Jabari came to Jacksonville with a duffel bag, a Navy paycheck, and a plan that didn’t fit inside anybody else’s rules. Then he built Big Red, a candy-painted ’90 Caprice on 26s, into the loudest thing moving through Duval after dark.

On the street, Big Red turns into a legend. In the garage, she becomes a business, Warbucks Racing, kept alive by sweat, loyalty, and the kind of hunger you can’t teach. But fame in Jacksonville comes with receipts… and eyes that don’t blink.

Then Mia steps into the picture: tattoo artist, quiet confidence, and trouble in a pretty package. The problem is, someone else has already claimed her attention: Q Dolla, the kind of man who doesn’t compete. He collects.

Now Jabari’s caught between two worlds: the street that made his name and the track that could make his legacy… if he survives the jealousy, the politics, and the footage floating around Jacksonville like a loaded gun.

Caprice Dreams is a gritty, funny, high-octane ride through donk culture, street fame, and the price of being seen, where wins come fast, losses go viral, and love can get you lined up.

Mature themes, explicit language, and raw street culture. Reader discretion advised.
