Ten Thousand Saints
About the Book
Ten Thousand Saints
In the roiling, electrified streets of New York City in the 1980s, Eliza, Jude and Johnny each show up wanting a place to hide --- from everything that has gone wrong, big and small, in their short lives. These three, thrown together by their parents’ mistakes and their own, and by the accidental death of a teenage boy, find their regrets transformed into a single, covert mission. Possibility shines from every neglected, graffitied surface. Possibility rings in the hardcore music and seething energy of the city’s underground scene. But as they pursue the intoxicating promise of redemption and new life, their secret threatens to crush their alliance with its impossibly heavy burden.
