This is a true story.
An author goes on a book tour for his new bestseller which, as people keep telling him, is one hell of a book.

This is a coming-of-age story.
One morning, he meets The Kid: a young Black boy who looks just like the one he keeps seeing on the news. And The Kid wants him to tell his story.

This is a sad story.
It's the story of a boy who spent most of his life trying to hide. And it may not be that different from the story of our author.

This is a love story.
But to find out why, you'll have to read this for yourself.
