Jesse: A Coming of Age Story

Jesse wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he has known both loneliness and not belonging as long as he has lived in his rundown neighborhood. Having to deal with his Mom being dead for three years, a drunk abusive father, and having to sell drugs to make enough money doesn't help much either. But when a compelling friendship ignites between him and Ian, whose family just moved into the neighboring house that has been empty for years, Jesse will finally have to confront his conflicted past, and come to terms with who he truly is. --- More than a coming-of-age story, Jesse is a story about human compassion, and its power to change everything.
