Shine Eye Girl chronicles a tightrope walk. Sally Harris is coming of age in one of Washington, D.C.'s most forlorn neighborhoods. Daughter, sister, mother-to-be, she falls for a Somali immigrant named Mo. Together they break bread, get down, get grown, get ahead. The world takes aim and shoots. It's the pitfalls of ghetto life. It's the confusion of green love in the age of deceit. It's blood ties. It's the eerie sound of dreams crashing back to the ground. Time takes no sides. Treasures found are treasures lost. Humor often comes up short. Loyalties call. Tightrope walkers fall. Barely, tenuously, stubbornly, hope shines through.
