(3) YA This brutally realistic novel follows the fortunes of three young people on the fringes of their Bronx housing project: a hearing-impaired student, an illegal immigrant artist, and a tortured veteran. Hints of the violence to come appear from the very first page; nonetheless, readers will still be surprised by the disturbing but absorbing novel's relentlessly intense events.
