By age fifteen, America has spent years lost in the system and thinks he is "not worth the trouble of finding." But Dr. B., a psychiatrist at Ridgeway Hospital, finds a way to reach him. As America opens up-about the mother who abandoned him; his "bad" and "baddest" brothers, who taught him how to behave; and Browning, his foster uncle, who was first kind, then devastatingly cruel-the wounds from years of hurt start to heal.
