'A moving and entertaining account of youthful resilience.' -Edward Zuckerman, Emmy-winning writer for Law & Order, author of Wealth Management: A ThrillerA gutsy coming-of-age novel that may rip your heart out. Set in Philadelphia during the tumultuous 1960s, This Way Out is the story of three inseparable friends on a forced march through a long, often entertaining, sometimes harrowing journey. A reckoning is coming.Surrounded by a ten-foot wall, the Dumonde College for Boys, a centuries-old institution, is home to sixteen hundred fatherless and orphaned White boys.Beyond the north wall, a Black neighborhood crumbles and erupts, roiling to integrate the Dumonde campus. Protesters circle the gates, day and night. Beyond the south wall, defeat exhausts the lowest White people. In between lies a stronghold where the stoic Dumonde boys live behind the times, disregarding a world in turmoil shaking their walls.No boy here gets the childhood he imagines. The Dumonde College for Boys is a hall of mirrors populated by devils disguised as caretakers and some precious few better angels. There are no metaphors for this experience. Nothing else resembles it. What these boys share may be enough to survive severe conditions, where fear is commonplace and friendships nurture courage. All are seeking a way out. For some, it may be too late.
