"In [this book, the author] supplies the missing chapter of his life: as a boy on the threshold of adulthood. With his usual sensitivity and insight, he recounts the relentless taunting he endured from bullies; but he also describes the joys of learning and the thrill of making his first real friends - some of whom he still shares close relationships with today. He writes about the simple pleasures of exploring a neighborhood he was just beginning to get to know while trying to forget the hell he had endured as a child. From high school to a world beyond the four walls that were his prison for so many years, [the book] charts this crucial turning point in [his] life. This brave and compassionate memoir from the man who has journeyed far will inspire a whole new generation of readers.-Dust jacket."
