Because it was the summer during which Atlantas AfricanAmerican children were vanishing.The moving story of their struggle to grow up and survive shimmers with the piercing, ineffable quality of childhood, as it captures all the hurts and little wins, the alltoosudden changes, and the merciless, outside forces that can sweep the young into adulthood and forever shape their lives.
