Orangeboy is a gripping and thought-provoking novel about a young boy's desperate bid to escape his past and protect those he loves. After making a promise to his mother, Marlon finds himself in a desperate situation when a date ends in tragedy and he becomes the target of a ruthless pursuit. With his freedom hanging in the balance, Marlon must confront the harsh realities of his world and decide whether to conform or fight back.

Patrice Lawrence's powerful and unflinching story explores the complexities of adolescence, family, and loyalty, raising important questions about identity, community, and the search for belonging. With its raw emotion, gritty realism, and unforgettable characters, Orangeboy is a compelling and unforgettable read.
