A 14-year-old boy's powerful, eloquent, and heartening memoir: how he survived abusive parents, made school and the New York streets his refuge, and finally found a genuine family--only to be confronted with the ultimate challenge of AIDS.

Although published as non-fiction, there is now some question as to the authenticity of this work. A fictional account of this author's experience with yet another author (Armistad Maupin) has been published (by Maupin) under the title *The Night Listener*.
