Summary
A Rock and a Hard Place : One Boy's Triumphant Story
A 14-year-old boy's powerful, eloquent, and heartening memoir: how he survived abusive parents, made school and the New York streets his refuge, and finally found a genuine family--only to be confronted with the ultimate challenge of AIDS. LikeThe Diary of Anne Frank, this is a young person's personal account of rising above the worst terrors of a troubled time.Line drawings.
