Product description

A stirring tale of love, loss and new awakenings. King has lost his brother. Now he must find himself… King is twelve, living in a small but turbulent Louisiana town. His big brother, Khalid, recently died, and grief is tearing the family apart. Things would be easier if King could talk to his best friend, Sandy. But Khalid always said he ought to stay away from Sandy. “You don’t want anyone to think you’re gay too, do you?” Then Sandy goes missing, and King finds his former friend hiding down by the bayou. As their friendship is rekindled, King must confront big questions about himself and his brother’s death…
