    Battle for Tomorrow Series

    About this series

    Seventeen-year-old heroine Angela Jones meets a nineteen-year-old activist named Fabio during the Occupy Wall Street protest in September 2011. Together with three other homeless teenagers, they “occupy” a vacant commercial building in Brooklyn’s disadvantaged Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. Over the course of five months, they transform Freedom House into a teen homeless shelter.
    When Bank of America obtains a court-ordered eviction notice, Fabio and the other teenagers decide to use automatic weapons to prevent the police from evicting them. Determined to stop the eviction by nonviolent means, Ange reaches out to the African American church across the street.

    The police arrive to find the church has mobilized seventy-five community members to commit civil disobedience by blocking access to the building. Meanwhile Ange is one of four residents standing at the front windows with an M16.

      Angela Jones pays an enormous price for her beliefs, when she is arrested during an antiwar protest and winds up in a juvenile detention facility. While there, she must fight for emancipation and the right to live independently. Winner of 2011 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award and 2012 Reader Views Literary Award. The Battle for Tomorrow represents a new genre of topical realism that speaks to the emotional ghetto in which many American teenagers find themselves.
