About this ebook

Fourteen-year-old Tommy is a troublemaker, but he’s basically got a good heart, in spite of the awful circumstances of his home life. When his mother abandons him, he is sent to foster care, where he must learn to fend for himself. Then he meets Daquan, and the two young men form an instant bond based on their shared hardships. Together they try to navigate life without a parent’s guidance and avoid the darker elements of the dirty streets of Boston.

When Tommy’s mother re-enters his life, he sees a way back to the stable family life he desires. Determined, he sets out to do whatever it takes to make a home with his mother. With the help of Daquan, will Tommy be able to stay out of trouble long enough to make it home?

H. G. Hawk

H.G. Hawk had a troubled youth. He ran afoul of the law on numerous occasions. Throughout this tumultuous time in his life, his father stuck by him, always encouraging H.G. to do better and to get an education. When his father passed away, H. G. honored his wishes by putting himself through college, earning a B.A. in English from SUNY Empire State College. He writes what he knows, and he is determined to break stereotypes in literature and bring a positive message to his fans. He is currently working on his second novel while applying for graduate programs in writing.
