The story of a 13 year old young man, Cameron Spears, and his family from Chicago that is forced to move and change their names because of an abusive father. Cameron and his sister, Andrea are born of mixed heritage through an African American mother and a Mexican American Father. After their father shoots their mother and is thrown in jail, the family changes their name and moves to Memphis and try to move on with life. Cameron is still a typical teenager, trying to keep his sister in line, as well as trying to not be like his father. Then the unspeakable happens. And it can cause horrible results.
A moving story of domestic violence told through the eyes of this young man. This story was masterfully written, will keep you on the edge of your seat looking for more and will send your emotions in a tailspin. The Author was 17 at the time of this book being published, but he’s obviously wise beyond his years and has done better than some adult authors. This book is suitable for teens, as well as adults.
