Best friends Ray and Jose are on their own and on the run. They hide out in Ten Mile River, a wildwood Harlem park. Street-smart Jose and bookish, introspective Ray are closer than brothers until they meet the beautiful Trini. She's clever and confident, and they both fall for her. But somehow Ray has to find a different future for himself.
Paul Griffin's spare, moving prose and uncanny ear for dialogue is guaranteed to win many fans.
