What We Carry

What We Carry is the story of Odino Pratt — a thirteen-year-old boy growing up in Hartford’s Frog Hollow neighborhood in the late 1990s, being raised by a father who runs the streets and builds his son like a cathedral. This is a book about what gets passed down when nothing is said directly. About the fathers nobody writes about. About a city that was already losing when the story begins, and a boy who refuses to lose with it.
