new novel "Homestretch"

Posted by paul volponi on September 21, 2009 at 10:18am

I have a new novel out today called Homestretch. It is a about a teen runaway from Texas named Gas, who was brought up to hate Mexicans. He winds up working on the backstretch of a racetrack, beneath the very same Mexicans that Gas was always told he was better than. It's a YA book about prejudice and connecting with a larger more universal family. The opening chapter can be read at my website- paulvolponibooks.com.

Homestretch, Paul, Volponi., YA, novel.
