Descrição

Macy grew up unwanted, unloved, and alone. By his teens he had quit school and begun stealing. In and out of juvie, Macy is a shoplifter, a car thief, and, by age eighteen, a murderer.

Danny grew up physically disabled, raised by his grandmother, and a loner. Now sixteen, he finds solace in taking photographs, particularly of monarch butterflies, and thinking about Leah, the most beautiful girl in town.

It is Leah who unwittingly causes these two very different boys, who share some startling similarities, to meet in a first and final terrifying encounter.

The outcome of this hard-hitting and spellbinding novel from an exciting new author will rivet readers and leave them thinking about nature, nurture, justice, and the remarkable power of human kindness.

Sobre o Livro

Macy cresceu sem afeto e entrou no mundo do crime, tornando-se ladrão e, aos dezoito anos, responsável por um homicídio.

Danny, com dezesseis anos e criado pela avó, encontra refúgio na fotografia de borboletas monarcas e em seus pensamentos sobre Leah, a jovem mais admirada da cidade.

O encontro entre Macy e Danny, provocado por Leah, desemboca em um confronto final que coloca em discussão temas como natureza e criação, justiça e o impacto da bondade humana.
