![]() ![]() This is a book about family, bad choices, forgiveness, and growing up. The descriptions of the neighbourhood that Michael and Francis lives is not far from where I was born and grew up. Sam’s Review: I thought this was a fantastic book to read! As a Scarborough native, reading this book was like coming home in a lot of ways. ![]() Always Michael and Francis escape into the cool air of the Rouge Valley, a scar of green wilderness that cuts through their neighbourhood, where they are free to imagine better lives for themselves. Synopsis: Coming of age in The Park, a cluster of town houses and leaning concrete towers in the disparaged outskirts of a sprawling city, Michael and Francis battle against the careless prejudices and low expectations that confront them as young men of black and brown ancestry–teachers stream them into general classes shopkeepers see them only as thieves and strangers quicken their pace when the brothers are behind them. This was July’s pick, and I will also share my thoughts on the beer as well! Welcome to the first installment of reviews for Dominion City Brewing Co’s Beer and Book Club releases. ![]()
