About the book

Garden's Corner is a heartbreakingly real and insightful novel that captures the imaginative spirit of Little Speedy Copeland - a "near-crippled" Brooklyn teen - who embarks on a journey to a small southern town where he hopes to find and make peace with his best friend and the violent episode that involved them both. Garden's Corner is a story with many voices. Hopeful, joyful voices of the young. Somber, world weary voices of the old and wise. And yet, amid it all, it is Little Speedy Copeland's whose rings out loudest. With language that is clever and funny and addictive, our young hero spins a tale mixed with pain and pleasure as he seeks to share with all his heartfelt desire to overcome not only physical paralysis, but the paralysis of human spirit as well.What we see pass before the eyes of Little Speedy Copeland and what we learn about him and his environment, makes for compelling and thought-provoking reading.
