| Publisher Description: It's September 1998; the beginning of the school year. Fifteen-year-old Connor Munro is sitting on a bus, earphones on, listening to his favourite band when he's swarmed by a gang of street kids and his beloved Walkman is stolen. Fast forward and Connor is visiting a homeless teenager named Jesse in hospital. He's shocked when he sees his Walkman on the bedside table but doesn't mention it. Curious about this young stranger, he learns that without a bone marrow transplant, Jesse will die of leukemia. As Connor sets about helping his newfound friend, he has no idea he will soon become intimately linked to society's underbelly in a way he never imagined possible - all because of a dark family secret. In this touching novel, family comes in all shapes and sizes as two strangers help each other find forgiveness, hope, and brotherly love.... |
