Voice of the Youth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780620997614)

Deep in the favelas of Brazil, Zee finds himself with a rare opportunity to escape the cycle of poverty and crime that both choke and fuel his world. His struggle to find purpose is guided by the mysterious no-nonsense owner of Cavalheiro, the barbershop where he works. Yet the moment he steps out onto the cobblestone streets, his chaotic life descends on him - again and again. When Zee's artistic talent and passion for painting presents a chance out of poverty, he is forced to take a long hard look at his life, and everything in it.

After a lifetime of inexplicable hurt, anger and fear, can his art finally give him a voice?
