When infant Jordan Sant is taken to the St Asteria Home for Children after his parents' murder, his life becomes a struggle between his best and worst selves. A relationship with a young nun, Mouse, awakens love and hope, but her departure plunges Jordan into darkness.
Barely a teenager, Jordan runs away to the underbelly of Port of Spain, facing the frightening depths of Trinidadian society and himself. Will he find redemption amidst violence and poverty? This gripping story explores faith, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. Perfect for readers of literary fiction and Caribbean literature.
