Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
Amy Taylor finds the inner-city streets around her high school vibrant and animated compared to the bland middle-class neighborhood where she lives with her career-driven mother. In these streets, she meets the people of the city, among them a wayward boy named Jonathan, a struggling drug dealer, and Paul Lewis, a documentary photographer who becomes Amy's mentor. Under his inspiration, she attempts to capture their world through the lens of her camera.
From the multiple perspectives of Amy and the expansive group of people she meets, award-winning novelist Michael Henson presents a heartbreaking portrait of the effects the Reagan-initiated drug war had on the young.
Reviews / Votes
"With the soul and pen of a poet, Michael Henson writes from the fringes, asking us to stand in the shoes of society's outsiders. I hope he never stops writing these books that matter so much, and I will never stop reading them." "Michael Henson's novel Secure the Shadow is a remarkable piece of storytelling. It is a mystery and a thriller, an ode to film photography, and a beautifully crafted evocation of life before cell phones and after the advent of crack cocaine. Secure the Shadow makes a poem of its urban setting and fills every brick, alley, and abandoned shopping cart with lyric meaning. Henson moves between his characters' angles of vision with aplomb, and limns the world of the novel with the verve and grit of the best cinema verite." "Read Secure the Shadow for the beautiful language, the poetry of Henson's prose-and read it to ponder what it says about our world when people across the social spectrum are filled with such fear and rage and loneliness."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
