Summary
America, a not-black, not-white, not-anything teenage boy who has spent many years in institutions for disturbed, antisocial behavior, tries to piece his life together.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: For eighteen gritty years, a boy dodges the cracks in system in this âpiercing, unforgettable novelâ (Booklist) from E.R. Frank that Kirkus Reviews deemed âa work of sublime humanity.â
America is mistaken for black, Asian, Native American, even white. He doesnât seem to fit in anywhere, and, parentless, he is shunted for eighteen years from a foster home, to the street, and ultimately to the brink of despair. Can one doctor pull him back and bring America somewhere newâsomewhere with a future?
America was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a YALSA Best Book for Young Adults and has received numerous other honors, and E.L. Frankâs extensive experience as a clinical social worker and therapist is why âthe authorâs ability to capture so much emotion in the details makes this book remarkableâ (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
