A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST "Brilliant, honest, and equal parts
heartbreaking and soul-healing." --Laurie Halse Anderson, author of
SHOUT "A singular voice in the world of literature." --Jason
Reynolds, author of Long Way Down A powerful coming-of-age story
about grief, guilt, and the risks a Filipino-American teenager
takes to uncover the truth about his cousin's murder. Jay Reguero
plans to spend the last semester of his senior year playing video
games before heading to the University of Michigan in the fall. But
when he discovers that his Filipino cousin Jun was murdered as part
of President Duterte's war on drugs, and no one in the family wants
to talk about what happened, Jay travels to the Philippines to find
out the real story. Hoping to uncover more about Jun and the events
that led to his death, Jay is forced to reckon with the many sides
of his cousin before he can face the whole horrible truth -- and
the part he played in it. As gripping as it is lyrical, Patron
Saints of Nothing is a page-turning portrayal of the struggle to
reconcile faith, family, and immigrant identity.
