The Poem

It's a nameless city full of nameless people to 15 year old Kelbe Maxaawish. Lost in life after being abandoned as a child and then, 10 years later, by her adoptive family, El has nowhere in life to go-except the streets. Mad at everything on the planet, Kelbe settles in an alley that joins onto the main road of an unfamiliar town, simply called The Avenue. And that is where El's life takes a turn for the better...but the past is always lurking, and just when El gains something, her past threatens to resurface and tear it away. How can you fight for your life when your greatest enemy is yourself?
