Dorian

Three silver dollars jingle in Dorian Trent’s pocket, meant for the Sunday shoes his mother says he needs. Then he finds a sidewalk table piled with books he has longed to read.

On a hot Friday afternoon in rural Greenstreet, sixteen-year-old Dorian sets out to run errands and buy shoes fit for church. But the old books are bargains, and their stories pull harder than his worn-out footwear—or his mother’s expectations. By the time he starts home, his money is nearly gone, and he must face the question of how to explain himself. Then he hears children shouting beside the new canal. What has caught their attention?
