angels

Steven has a guardian angel.

In the desolate Texas town of Butte, two teenagers, the fiercely independent Steven and Charles, a girl trying to understand her place in the world, collide in a twist of fate. Charles is doing her best. Steven has run away from home, living in a local park. When they meet, all hell breaks loose. The world of angels is bleak and unforgiving, demonstrating a side of small-town America rarely seen.

In a multi-faceted voice, May Leitz weaves a story about the trials of youth, the rot spreading in the United States, and how we create systems of harm that twist us into unrecognizable horrors. From the author of Fluids and Girl Flesh, Angels is a new tale of love in the time of tragedy.
