When the Stars Choose You Back
What happens when a boy who counts everything-seconds in songs, cracks in sidewalks, stars scattered across the Mississippi sky-discovers that the universe itself follows patterns more beautiful than anything he could imagine? For young James Plummer Jr., growing up in America's most unforgiving neighborhoods wasn't just about survival. It was about maintaining wonder in a world designed to crush it. Between the Third Ward's violence and his mother's constant relocations, he found sanctuary in an unlikely place: the elegant mathematics underlying reality itself. His story isn't just another rags-to-riches tale. It's proof that brilliance doesn't wait for permission, and that sometimes the most unlikely trajectories lead to the most extraordinary destinations. Picture a childhood measured not in years but in radio songs. Each time Miss Elaine packed up their lives, young James tracked the journey by whatever played on the dashboard-a human odometer measuring displacement in melodies instead of miles. After witnessing his mother set their bed ablaze following his father's betrayal, stability became a foreign concept. Yet amid this chaos, something remarkable emerged: an obsession with patterns.
