In this neighborhood, nothing is ever supposed to change, and outsiders are not welcome. Everyone tells you what to do and how to be.
Michael wants to be a good kid. And someday, a man.
He listens to everyone. Except himself.
When a fly ball goes astray, Michael’s teenaged world goes kablooey, and nothing seems to make much sense anymore.
Giuliana shows up at the neighborhood block party in a beautiful black dress. And Michael finds himself harboring a strange new desire.
Not for her. Not exactly.
Sometimes, boys just want to wear leather. Is that so wrong?
An eye-opening coming-of-age story from the nabe one block over.
