"One of those tales that ties you up, turns you inside-out, wrings
you like a wet cloth." -Jason Reynolds, New York Times bestselling
author of Long Way Down American Street meets Long Way Down in this
searing and gritty debut novel that takes an unflinching look at
the harsh realities of gang life in Jamaica and how far a teen is
willing to go for family. Things can change in a second: The second
Frankie Green gets that scholarship letter, he has his ticket out
of Jamaica. The second his longtime crush, Leah, asks him on a
date, he's in trouble. The second his father gets shot, suddenly
nothing else matters. And the second Frankie joins his uncle's gang
in exchange for paying for his father's medical bills, there's no
going back...or is there? As Frankie does things he never thought
he'd be capable of, he's forced to confront the truth of the family
and future he was born into-and the ones he wants to build for
himself.
