Publisher's Synopsis
COULD YOU SURVIVE?With the slam of a door Alexander Baez is pushed out onto the streets of London. It's the eve of 2018; he's only lived here for six months. He doesn't know anyone, he doesn't trust anyone, and he doesn't feel safe anywhere. He's eighteen, gay, and homeless in a city to which he has no connection. After he's run down by a drink-driver, his life starts taking one hard turn after another. Suddenly he's invisible to the very people who might help him find food, shelter, support, and safety. Alexander is quick to learn that being homeless is tough, especially for a kid.In 'London Lives' the city plays backdrop to a fictionalized account of one boy's fight to escape the life he was pushed into. The story is inspired by real-life street kids and their struggles to be seen by the right people-whilst hiding from the wrong ones. This tale results from dozens of their interviews, telling what it takes for one good kid to survive.WHAT IF IT WAS YOU
