A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set in the African American community of East Liberty, Pennsylvania during one fateful week in 1998, Everyday People centers around Chris "Crest" Tolbert -- an eighteen-year-old left paralyzed and haunted by the loss of his best friend after a recent accident -- and weaves together the lives of friends and family, lovers and strangers, and their emotions, memories and dreams. There is Vanessa, Crest's estranged girlfriend and mother of his son, who must come to terms with her former boyfriend's injuries while her own world view is transformed. Crest's brother, Eugene, is an ex-con turned born-again Christian trying to stay straight while preventing an endless cycle of violence from claiming the life of a friend's younger brother. And there is the boys' father, Harold, who must choose between the passion of a newfound love and a family that needs him now more than ever.

Vibrant, poignant, and brilliantly rendered, Everyday People is unforgettable -- a lush, dramatic portrait that vividly captures the experience of the day-to-day struggle that is life in urban America.

Preformed by Giancarlo Esposito
