A trail of blood. A mother fighting for her life. A fifteen-year-old boy who knows exactly who did it.
When NYPD Detective Sean Finnerty arrives at a Washington Heights apartment, the scene tells him everything and nothing. Somewhere between the crime and the truth is a boy named Butchie Torres.
Eighteen months earlier, Butchie was just trying to survive his own life. Gifted on the basketball court and wise beyond his years, he is navigating the late 1980s streets of Washington Heights with everything to lose: a father who vanished, a mother waging a quiet war with addiction, and a neighborhood where the crack epidemic is swallowing whole blocks.
When his mother falls for the wrong man, Butchie's world fractures in ways no fifteen-year-old should have to understand.
A Life in Days is a gripping, emotionally raw coming-of-age novel about resilience, loyalty, and the cost of survival in a city that never stops testing you.
For fans of: Donald Goines, Omar Tyree, and Junot DÃaz. For anyone who has ever watched someone they love fight to stay above water, and refused to stop believing they could.
