520 From award-winning author Jennifer Anne Moses comes an
incredible story of the power of family, love and the
human-spirit. Sixteen-year-old James and his little
brother, Danny, live in Crystal Springs, Louisiana, with
their grandmother, mother, and first cousin, Lila. The
family is working class, proud, strict, and church-going.
When a big, clumsy boy named Gabriel moves up the street
with his minuscule and mysterious "auntie," James has a
new friend who he loves and hates in equal measure. When
Grandma dies and Lila runs away, James and Danny's mother
struggles to make things work, but something's wrong, so
wrong that one awful day, James finds his mother lying in
her bed, dead. Panicked, he runs to the only person he can
think of, his friend Gabriel. He insists that if the
authorities know that there are no adults at home, they'll
send James and Danny away to foster care or worse, and
ends up convincing James that the only way to maintain any
kind of decent life for himself and his little brother is
to carry on as if things are normal. The boys bury the
body under an abandoned house, and, as James tries to make
ends meet (procuring food from dumpsters) things become
increasingly desperate. It's Gabriel who comes up with a
"master plan" to find a woman who looks enough like the
boys' mother that she can pass for her-and get money out
of the bank. They recruit Lucetta from a soup kitchen, and
she moves in. For a while, things begin to look up-and
then they fall apart completely. But in the process of
losing everything, James and his brother Danny gain a new
family, one based on grit, faith, and hope. "This
dialogue-driven exploration of coming of age in a small
town in Louisiana will have readers asking for more…While
horrible things happen, it is ultimately an uplifting look
at coming to grips with reality and coming home …
wherever that is and whomever that's with." "A moving and
heart-felt story of family and community and the symbiotic
ways the two can shape and sustain one another. Set in
Crystal Springs, Louisiana, the novel explores the entire
family and neighborhood dynamic through the eyes of its
big-hearted narrator, fifteen-year-old James." "Jennifer
Anne Moses is a wonder, an author who can conjure the
worst and yet bring the story into the light, and with it,
her reader. Glorious storytelling in an authentic voice."
"Moses's prose is lyrical and fresh…"
