Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. East Breeds Pennsylvania, is the sort of blue-collar town that simmers with barely concealed prejudices. One Friday night, in the parking lot of a chain restaurant, a brutal fight breaks out between the privileged boys from St. Brendan's and a group of kids from the local high school. Casey Fielder, the restaurant's manager, watches the melee but does nothing to stop it. When the fight ends, Colin Chase, a handsome, cocky St. Brendans student, is severely brain-damaged. Haunting and heartbreaking, Aftermath portrays the lasting effects of that night: Casey loses his job and is determined to discover what led to the fight. Lea, Colins mother, hopes to reclaim her remote and defiant son. And both of them are drawn to a girl who seems to have played a larger role in Colins life than anyone knew. Set in a blue-collar Pennsylvania town simmering with barely concealed prejudices and unspoken rules that divide the rich from the poor, this novel portrays the lasting effects of a fight between some local kids and privileged boys from a private school.
