Peter Cryer is a queer teenager who fantasizes about leaving Baltimore and the instability of his home life while also seeking a place to belong. Ruth Anne, his prickly mother, is terrorized by her estranged husband and the indecision of what to do after the wrecking ball comes through her neighborhood. Thomas, a cleric and History teacher at Peter's school, questions his vocation in the face of the neighborhood's destruction. These three voices braid together a portrait of a neighborhood in flux, the role of community and violence in our time, and the struggles of a very real and oft misunderstood city. 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Community activists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Single mothers $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Community activists $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745119 650 7 $a Life change events $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998231 650 7 $a Single mothers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119370 651 0 $a Baltimore (Md.) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Maryland $z Baltimore $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJwtkMQJxwqpYm8tgyM773 $0 (OCoLC)fst01204292 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A35C70EE67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
