About the book
"The night of July 4. Teenage violence runs wild through the streets, exploding with firecrackers and patriotic celebration. In the Bronx, the police move in to break up a citywide convention of gang leaders. Whistles, shots, pounding nightsticks, and suddenly, six members of "the Family"--The Coney Island Dominators - are alone on emeny terrain. Their desperate flight back to their native turf is a journey that will leave the awestruck reader at a new station of awareness"--Bookjacket.
