Description
Charley Thompson's life has been marked by uncertainty and instability. Now, at 15, he's desperate for a sense of belonging and structure. When his father arrives in Portland, Oregon, Charley takes a job at the local race track, where he meets Pete, an old horse who becomes his unlikely companion. As Charley navigates this new world, he must confront the harsh realities of poverty and loneliness. But with Pete by his side, he finds a sense of purpose and belonging that eludes him elsewhere. This poignant coming-of-age story explores the complexities of family life, friendship, and the struggles of growing up. Willy Vlautin's lyrical prose brings to life the gritty world of 1990s Portland, where the American Dream is often just out of reach.
