The Death of Jayson Porter

The Death of Jayson Porter

Sixteen-year-old Jayson Porter wants to believe things will get better. But the harsh realities of his life never seem to change. Living in the inland-Florida projects with his abusive mother, he tries unsuccessfully to fit in at his predominately white school, while struggling to maintain even a thread of a relationship with his drug-addicted father. As the pressure mounts, thereâ€™s only one thing Jayson feels he has control overâ€”the choice of whether to live or die.

In this powerful, grippingÂ novel, Coretta Scott King Awardâ€“winning author Jaime Adoff explores the harsh reality of a teenagerâ€™s life, giving hope even in the bleakest of hours.
