 | Wolf on the Fold by Judith Clarke
Kenny is fourteen. His dad has just died and to keep the family together, Kenny must find work. Be careful going through the flatlands, his mother warns him. Don't stop for anyone. But Kenny does stop, and what happens next will define the man he becomes. The stories are most often about where adolescence meets the adult world. Each story is a window into the lives of young people and the ways in which their lives sometimes connect. The second story involves Kenny's two daughters. Like so many sisters, they argue and clash, fall in love, and yet find that when it comes to coping with life, they have each other. The third story is a snapshot of a bully who terrorizes other girls at school, but who can't read. Later on in life, two of her victims meet her in a shop, where she works as an assistant and are forced to reevaluate the way they think of her. In the fourth story we meet two young Indian boys, migrants from Kampala, who live three doors down from Kenny and his wife, and who inevitably suffer racial injustice and abuse.
