In this verse novel, Joe, seventeen, is reacquainted with his older brother Ed, who's on death row, just before Ed's execution date. Free-verse poems effectively interweave the past and present to cast doubt on Ed's guilt in the death of a police officer and to realize the emotions involved in the brothers' complex family situation.
