The story, told in reverse, begins with thirty-six-year-old Theo and his search for sexual and emotional freedom, and slowly unravels back to a childhood of abuse in the juvenile detention centers of Chicago. Without judgment, Elliott traces a life defined by yearning--for love, for pain, for certainty. His clear words and unflinching gaze reveal the difficulty of simple truths and the possibility of transcendence in the face of unforgivable crimes. 650 0 $a Teenage boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Child welfare $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Juvenile detention homes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adult child sexual abuse victims $v Fiction. 650 0 $a First loves $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Adult child sexual abuse victims. $0 (OCoLC)fst00797212. $2 fast 650 7 $a Child welfare. $0 (OCoLC)fst00854709. $2 fast 650 7 $a First loves. $0 (OCoLC)fst00925778. $2 fast 650 7 $a Juvenile detention homes. $0 (OCoLC)fst00985445. $2 fast 650 7 $a Teenage boys. $0 (OCoLC)fst01145373. $2 fast 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048. $2 fast 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. $2 fast 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481. $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030505.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F421A828BE611E8B24E8D0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IO4Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
