When 16 year old social butterfly, Lincoln Marcel Erickson and family are evicted and thrown out without anything, she begins to open her eyes to the events that are taking place around her. What she sees are hidden pain filled stories of her classmates, heartache of her friends, and desolation of the adults around her, all masked by fights, sarcasm and smirks.
Lincoln and her classmates spend most of their time keeping their real life a secret. Where they live, who their parents are, and what’s happening to them outside of school; is all covered up by stories of status, co-signed by material possessions.
No one is up front, at least not until Kenny shows and puzzle pieces start to match. The lies begin to unravel and lives are changed forever.
The author, Kezia Pearson gives you a true-to-life look at inner city teens inside a school setting. As an educator of 13 years, she has watched these stories unfold right in front of her. She added a twist and called it fictions, because she figured you wouldn’t believe it anyway.
