Amazon.com description: Product Description: A boy triumphs over his abusive environment in this raw and gripping story from National Book Award finalist Chris Lynch.
Daveyâs had to grow up fast in order to get awayâaway from his beautiful mother, who loves him but canât take care of him; away from his charismatic but reckless father, who loves him too, but canât commit; and away from the people who look at him strangely because heâs not like them. The only constant in his life has been his sister, Joanne. Sheâs fed him, protected him, and taken care of him ever since she was seven and he was two.
Now Jo, still a teenager, has a baby herself, and itâs Daveyâs turn to take care of someone, to offer love like heâs never known before.
National Book Award finalist Chris Lynch âdescribes in unflinching detail a squalid, urban sceneâ in this âmeticulously craftedâ novel with âevocative and lyrical proseâ (Publishers Weekly).
