While Ende is troubled by the absence of a mother he knows nothing about and a rather strange father who makes matter worse for him by withholding information regarding his mother. Jackson, a biracial boy also called Lebanese Pikin, is trapped in deep self-hate resulting from abhorrence of his mother's prostitution. Their friendship begins on the day Ende discovers Jackson's drawing of \"a frail woman stuck against a wall by a long iron bar.\" This is the beginning of a haunting narrative of hate and love, of violence and compassion, of concealment and revelation.
