About the book
Tyrell’s father is just out of jail, and Tyrell doesn’t know how to deal with that. It’s bad enough that his brother Troy is in foster care and his mother is no help whatsoever. Now there’s another thing up in his face, just when he’s trying to settle down. Tyrell’s father has plans of his own, and doesn’t seem to care whether or not Tyrell wants to go along with them. Tyrell can see the crash that’s coming—with his dad, with the rest of his family, with the girls he’s seeing— but he’s not sure he can stop it. Or even if he wants to.
Subjects: Drug traffic, African American teenagers, Street life, Foster home care, Juvenile fiction, Children of criminals
