Overview
Concrete RoseĀ meetsĀ Things We Couldnāt SayĀ inĀ Pritty, a debut novel by Keith F. Miller Jr.āthe inspiration behind the forthcomingĀ animatedĀ short film of Kickstarter fameāthat follows two boys who get caught in the crossfire of a sinister plot that not only threatens everything they love but may cost them their own chance at love.Ā
On the verge of summer before his senior year, Jay is a soft soul in a world of concrete. While his older brother is everything people expect a man to beātough, athletic, and in chargeāJay simply blends into the background to everyone, except when it comes to Leroy.
Unsure of what he could have possibly done to catch the eye of the boy who could easily have anyone he wants, Jay isnāt about to ignore the surprising but welcome attention. But as everything in his world begins to heat up, especially with Leroy, whispered rumors over the murder of a young Black journalist and long-brewing territory tensions hang like a dark cloud over his neighborhood. And when Jay and Leroy find themselves caught in the crossfire, Leroy isnāt willing to be the reason Jayās life is at risk.
Dragged into the world of the Black Diamondsāwhose work to protect the Black neighborhoods of Savannah began with his father and now falls to his older brotherāLeroy knows that finding out who attacked his brother is not only the key to protecting everyone he loves but also the only way he can ever be with Jay. Wading through a murky history of familyĀ trauma and regret, Leroy soon discovers that thereās no keeping Jay safe when Jayās own family is in just as deep and fighting the undertow of danger just as hard.
Now Jay and Leroy must puzzle through secrets hiding in plain sight and scramble to uncover who is determined to eliminate the Black Diamonds before someone else gets hurtāeven if the cost might be their own electric connection.
