Body Count
On a beautiful suburban side street, while on his way to school, 9 year old Ethan hears the loud screeching of a car’s tires. Then, before he can react, he witnesses his little sister hit, pinned underneath, and dragged by a drunk driver’s car across the merciless surface of the concrete to her death.
With the torment of losing a child too much to bear, Ethan’s parents fall into a downward spiral, a spiral he is forced to watch, a spiral infested with drugs and alcohol. But most importantly, a spiral that strips away their hunger for success so badly that it drives them from the suburbs back to the ghetto they’d worked so hard to escape.
Ethan, a child who has never known a life outside the safety of the suburbs, now finds himself living in one of Cleveland’s most heartless ghettoes. Unequipped for what he’s facing, he quickly becomes the neighborhood outcast; the butt of everyone’s jokes, the object of everyone’s bullying. But above all, the molested and abused object of his parents’ frustration over losing their daughter.
Now 14, Ethan’s patience has grown paper thin. The pain, both physical and emotional, has become too much to take. Sick of the pain being inflicted on him, he gets hold of his father’s gun and makes a terrifying decision…

Body Count was a very good book. The characters and plot were well developed. There was a few errors but it does not take away from the story. I plan to read more of the author's books. Thank you to the author for a entertaining story

Never say NEVER
I cried while reading this book. All the hurt,pain,suffering and humiliation that Ethan went through was heartbreaking. One Day your life is fun full of both of your parents love and in the blink of a eye it can all me taken away from you. In this book you can feel the pain that Ethan went through daily. I just one concern I wanted to know what happened to Ethan

This was a short read. Honest and graphic. Really Raw!!! It was heartbreaking to read, that a child had to go through this, and I felt like vomiting reading it. I thank the author for being so brave as to write it.
