Nineteen days after  he will be freed from federal prison, T.I. will drop his first fiction novel, Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets.

Teaming up with best-selling celebrity author, David Ritz, Tip’s 352-page book will be published under William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins.

The novel follows the life of a young man who lost his mother and turns to the streets for guidance. On the search to find himself through drugs and the streets of New York and Miami, he finds a woman, Beauty, that makes him want to change.

As previously reported, T.I. will be released from US Penitentiary in Atlanta on  September 29. Power & Beauty hits stores shelves on October 18. Fans can pre-order the book on Amazon now.  —Amber McKynzie
