About the Book

STREETS If you dare to cross over, can you ever come back? 1957 Seventeen-year-old Frankie Moreno’s life is a mess. Raised on the streets, his father dead, his mother just a memory. His sister’s boyfriend, a drug dealing pimp, complicates Frankie’s life. Being war lord for a street gang, the Regents, gives Frankie a sense of belonging—a family. But that all disappears when his girl moves away and his best friend, Lennie, Regent president, threatens to disband the gang, to quit. Their conflict explodes and Frankie runs—straight to the rival gang. Then it all comes apart.
