Every Time a Rainbow Dies

The summer before his senior year, Thulani spends a lot of time with his pigeons on the roof of the brownstone where he lives. One afternoon, he hears screams from below and sees a young woman being raped. Thulani intervenes and walks her home. Over the next few weeks, he can’t stop thinking about her. When he notices that she walks through the neighborhood every Wednesday, he decides to follow her.
