The mere mention of the words “drug dealer” often leaves most people with an image of a scary villain. Despite this general and extreme way of perceiving them, it is interesting that people still want to know a thing or two about the personal lives of drug dealers and their businesses. Curtis L. Harrod, a former drug dealer, recounts the story of his life from a poor kid in Landover, Maryland, to becoming a notorious drug dealer within the DMV, in Anthony S. Waldren and Curtis L. Harrod’s Keys Open Doors: Revelations From a Drug Dealer’s Past. Grab a copy and join Curtis on his eventful, unique, troubling, yet life-changing journey riddled with moments of epiphany, great trepidation, temptations, growth, and discovery, among much more.
Anthony S. Waldren and Curtis L. Harrod’s Keys Open Doors: Revelations of a Drug Dealer’s Past is a must-read for lovers of true crime. The evocative anecdotes opened a gateway for me into the world of people living in poor neighborhoods, giving me a front-row seat to the arena of chaos and violence that accompanies the drug trafficking business. The scenes are richly nuanced, capturing the nostalgic mood of the era. The reading experience felt like I was watching an intriguing crime documentary. Through Curtis’ struggle with navigating the myriad of emotions he experienced running his business, I was reminded that drug dealers too are humans. They make choices which, like the title of this book, are keys that open doors, except their choices open doors where darkness lurks, and life and death hang in the balance.
