Description
In 1969, as the world waits with bated breath for the Apollo 11 mission, one teenager's life is marked by struggle and hardship. Jack Fisher faces a daily grind of delivering newspapers in downtown Pawtucket while trying to keep his family from falling apart. As the nation holds its collective breath, Jack clings to a mantra of hope: "Things will get better." But for him, things only seem to get worse, at an alarming rate. This poignant novel by Bob Thurber is a heart-wrenching portrayal of one boy's desperate struggle to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. With its unflinching honesty and raw emotion, this book is a powerful exploration of the human spirit.
