When a homeless Afghan war veteran picks up a homeless and orphaned teenager, they begin a journey across the U.S. seeking shelter, food, and a way out of hardship. The boy will learn how to steal cell phones and hock them for cash and what “by any means necessary” means. But at least he is not alone. Isn’t anything better than being alone? This fast moving noir crime story carries readers into today’s homeless America. In this coming of age story the boy must face the growing craziness of his benefactor as PTSD takes an increasing toll on him and violence is knife-sharp and imminent. Advanced sales begin Oct. 1.
