Preview: Hear it

After fleeing her home, suburbanbred Dana struggles to survive in the alleys, squats, and subway stations of downtown Toronto. Danas graffiti on an underpass catches the eye of a counselor at Sketches, a dropin center where homeless teens can express themselves through art. As Dana works on a painting, she begins to confront the reason she left home. The truth of what her stepfather did to her is trying to break free, but will it come out through her paintbrush or the blade of a knife? This gritty, honest portrayal of street life from acclaimed Canadian author Eric Walters is a testament to the healing power of art.
