内容简介：
In a testament to the strength of character, a teen returns to the Bronx after years in military schools and finds that his life is anything but safe. He runs in to trouble at every turn. Fights, stickball, basketball, girl trouble, school trouble, 'hood' trouble, house parties, drug dealers, and numerous dangerous situations all leave a mark on Steve. Yet he has people who care for him and a musical inclination that exudes from his pores. This novel is raw with the feel of the streets of New York in the 70's. It is a truthful glimpse into the face of something that not everyone can get through the way Steve does.
