HTML:The Kid brings us deep into the interior life of Abdul Jones, son of Sapphire’s unforgettable heroine, Precious. A story of body and spirit, rooted in the hungers of flesh and of the soul, The Kid is a story of survival and awakening, and of one young man’s remarkable strength.<br /> &#160;<br /> We meet Abdul at age nine, on the day of his mother’s funeral. Left alone to navigate in a world where love and hate sometimes hideously masquerade, forced to confront unspeakable violence, his history, and the dark corners of his own heart, Abdul claws his way toward adulthood and toward an identity he can stand behind.<br /> &#160;<br /> In a generational story that moves with the speed of thought from a Mississippi dirt farm to Harlem in its heyday; from a troubled Catholic orphanage to downtown artist’s lofts, The Kid tells of a twenty-first-century young man’s fight to find a way to the future. Intimate, terrifying, deeply alive in Abdul’s journey we are witness to an artist’s birth by fire. African American Fiction. Fiction. Media Type: Audiobook.
