Publisher Description

Tough because of Mama’s addiction to drugs and alcohol. Tough because Daddy is away with the army fighting in Iraq. Tough because it looks like there is no way out once you’re living in a homeless shelter in a North Carolina ghetto neighborhood. And tough because Joseph is enrolled at yet another new school where he doesn’t know anyone and has to keep what is going on in his life a secret. Joseph struggles to keep Mama clean and to hold their broken family together while trying to make new friends and join the school tennis team. Can a boy who’s only fifteen years old win his daily battle to survive?

"Excellent story with redemption for the protaganist. Good character development for most although the father could have been flushed out more."

    " I tried really hard to like this book but the writing style really put me off. Joseph is supposed to be a 15 year old nearly straight A student but he talks like a 6 year old. I only finished it because the story is strong enough to make you want to find out what happens in the end but only just. "
