Growing up in New York City isn't easy for 12-year-old
Lafayette and his older brothers. Especially because they are on
their own, after the death of their parents. Oldest brother Ty'ree
tries to hold things together, working to earn enough money to
support them all, but it's a struggle. And it doesn't help matters
that Lafayette's brother Charlie acts totally different (often very
mean and angry) since he's come back from the juvenile correctional
facility. The events of one dramatic weekend will determine whether
the boys will be able to stick it out on their own after all. This
is a gripping story that offers a peek into life in modern-day
Harlem, and pays tribute to the powerful love these brothers have
for each other.
