The Boy from Nowhere Street

When young David is born on a cold January winters day, a tragic accident leaves him parentless and alone; he steps into a series of life events that peak through to the extremes, celebrating the highs and sharing the lows as he grows to adolescence. We join in with the trials of making friends, and the tribulation of losing them. From newborn to a teenager, his journey through life is an emotional roller-coaster adventure. We witness the very raw feelings of individuality due to his skin colour in a predominantly white suburb of Leeds (England) during the 1960's and 1970's, and the difficulties that can be caused by simple-mindedness and an old way of thinking. "The Boy from Nowhere Street" puts the reader into the heart of the action, almost as a friend of David'. Watching the events unfold as they happen? giving this an authentic feeling and a gritty truth that can be both uplifting and sometimes difficult to handle.
