About This Book

Lot is a soulful account of a Black Latino boy dealing with domestic abuse, and coming to terms with his sexuality. As he realizes he likes boys, the young man navigates a world of bigotry, poverty, and resilience. Set in Houston, this book features many different characters in various circumstances: “a young woman whose affair detonates across an apartment complex, a ragtag baseball team, a group of young hustlers, hurricane survivors, a local drug dealer who takes a Guatemalan teen under his wing, and a reluctant chupacabra."
