Bu e-kitap hakkında
A masterfully written novel that blends gritty realism with moments of fantastical escape as a young boy struggles to navigate the harsh realities of his neighborhood.
“A call to resurrection for anyone who has forgotten how to hope.”—Paul Griffin, critically acclaimed author of Stay with Me
“Beautifully and powerfully reminds us that when navigating a world that offers no good choices, a heart that’s good and true can still save the day.”—Brendan Kiely, co-author of the award–winning All American Boys
Sometimes heroes can be found in the most unlikely places.
Fourteen-year-old Clarence Feather knows no world beyond desolate Mayfair Heights. Three years ago, his mother was killed before his eyes by a stray bullet. When his father becomes unable to keep the family afloat, Clarence is manipulated into running drugs. But he longs to be a good person, in spite of the seemingly impossible odds.
Wandering through his neighborhood, Clarence meets Mona, a huge albino Great Dane. The two develop a deep bond. When he is forced to attend a dog fight as a rite of passage, Clarence realizes that Mona isn’t safe, and neither is he. Can he find a way to protect Mona? Can he survive life in Mayfair Heights and still become the person his mother wanted him to be?
