| Summary: | Seventeen-year-old Amy Taylor finds the inner-city streets around her high school vibrant and animated compared to the bland middle-class neighborhood where she lives with her career-driven mother. There, she meets the city dwellers, a wayward boy named Jonathan, the gold-toothed Dealer and Paul Lewis, a down-and-out documentary photographer who becomes Amy's mentor and attempts to capture their world through pictures. Told from the multiple perspectives of Amy and the expansive group of people she forms around her, award-winning novelist Michael Henson presents a heartbreaking portrait of the Reagan-era drug crisis and its devastating effects on young people. |
