Every adult wants to give De Quin advice. His father, who’s serving a life sentence, thinks De Quin needs to toughen up. His uncle wants De Quin to work hard and keep his head down. Then there’s his grandfather, lecturing De Quin at every turn-when he’s not rambling about his glory days in the 1960s civil rights movement. De Quin is doing fine without their help-until a fun night with friends gets out of control. Now he has to deal with the fallout. Should he fight, as his dad suggests? Should he run and hide, as his uncle would do? Or should he follow his grandfather’s example of peaceful resistance? Whatever he chooses, he’s still just one confrontation away from losing everything.
