Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Life in Days is the powerful coming-of-age story of Butchie, a gifted young basketball player growing up in the unforgiving streets of New York City. With a mother struggling to stay clean, a father who abandoned them, and a world that seems determined to change faster than he can catch up, Butchie must navigate the blurred lines between survival and success. As he dodges the pitfalls of his environment-drugs, violence, poverty-Butchie finds clarity in moments: a bounce pass on the court, a quiet conversation with his mother, a lesson learned from pain. Surrounded by a community of vivid, deeply flawed, but ultimately human characters, Butchie's story unfolds in fragments-some hopeful, some haunting, but all deeply real. A Life in Days is not just a journey-it's a portrait of youth, struggle, and resilience told one day at a time. This item is printed on demand.
