A companion novel to Finding Langston, recipient of a Coretta Scott King Writing Honor and winner of the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction.
Behind every bad boy is a story worth hearing and at least one chance for redemption. Lymon's world as he knows it is about to dissolve. He will be sent on a journey to two Northern cities far from the country life he loves—and the version of himself he knows. Readers will see a new side of the bully Lymon from Finding Langston in this story of an angry boy whose raw talent, resilience, and devotion to music help point him in a new direction.
