Description
Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood. At seventeen, Maverick Carter knows that a real man takes care of his family, and he does so by dealing for the King Lords. With this money, he can help his mother, who works two jobs while his father is in prison. Life is not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav feels like he's got everything under control. However, when he discovers he's a father, everything changes. Suddenly, he has a baby, Seven, who depends on him for everything. As Mav struggles to balance his life, he's offered the chance to go straight, but loyalty, revenge, and responsibility threaten to tear him apart.
