Used book bought from Better World Books.

Well, I knew I was probably gonna like the book, but I didn't think I'd be adding it to my permanent collection. :)

A touching story, tied to the wonderful Outsiders through location and a few characters; a sombre tale of growing up, of unstoppable changes and hardships of life in poverty and rough neighbourhoods.
