About the Book
A raw and unflinching story of survival, this novel follows a 13-year-old Black boy forced to navigate life on his own after his family is torn apart by tragedy and addiction. With his brother killed by police and his parents consumed by drug abuse, he grows up in and out of institutions, hardened by the streets yet guided by the memories of his brother’s lessons. Dark, poignant, and deeply human, this coming-of-age tale—written in a stripped-down, Hemingway-inspired style—captures the struggle to hold on to hope while carrying the weight of loss.
