Nate was 8 years old the first time he stabbed someone.
He was 11 years old when he earned his red laces for spilling blood for his father's "cause".
He was 14 years old when he murdered his father, the leader of the white supremacist group The Fort.
Nearly two years later, he's being sent to live with his uncle who hates him in a town that ignores him.
Then he meets Brandon, a person The Fort taught Nate to hate on sight.
Brandon can never know Nate's past . . .
While this is a difficult book to read it is also a very well written book that draws you into the story and into caring for Nate. This is a book that looks at hate and how it is indoctrinated into people without their even realizing it. I would recommend this to teens looking for a realistic and gritty book that is also about redemption.
