American Teenager: Ward Of The Court - Paperback

by Jimmy Maxwell (Author)

"Blood. Bright red, arterial blood. It was everywhere. I could smell it, thick and coppery in my nostrils. I was in shock. The whole thing happened so fast. Less than 10 minutes was all it took to cover the walls in gore."
A fifteen-year-old Jimmy Maxwell on the run from a bloody crime scene back in El Paso, Texas-finds himself in his hometown of Guymon, Oklahoma. There he becomes entangled in the legal system and soon finds himself a Ward of The Court sentenced to the worst juvenile reformatory in the state. Its reputation as a house of pain by mean-spirited guards proceeds itself. Maxwell will learn new lessons in violence, survival, and friendship as he navigates his troubled and volatile adolescence.
