Life... Is Killing Me.
1969, New York City. Sixteen-year-old Jarrett Hansen has survived the streets, the system, and the crumbling Parkville Street Orphanage - but nothing prepares him for the truth hiding behind its walls.
When a series of disturbing events exposes a child-trafficking ring operating inside the orphanage, Jarrett and his closest friends are thrust into a deadly game of secrets, corruption, and betrayal. With danger closing in and no adult he can trust, Jarrett must rely on his instincts, his music, and the fierce loyalty of his chosen family.
But exposing the truth means risking everything - including the only people he's ever loved.
A gripping, emotional coming-of-age thriller about courage, justice, and the fight to belong.
Perfect for readers who love:
The Outsiders
The Book Thief
The Tender Bar
Boy's Life
Dark, character-driven historical thrillers
Some scars can't be seen. Some truths can't be hidden. And some kids refuse to stay silent.
