About Maybe

Maybe everything will be different here. Maybe I should drive away and never come back. Maybe my brother didn’t mean to. Maybe my brother was right. Maybe I can get someone to have sex with me. Maybe no one will ever love me. Maybe I should be an actor. Maybe I shouldn’t pretend to be deaf.

Maybe if I mouth the words no one will know I’m not singing. But maybe someone, somehow, will hear me anyway.

Brent Runyon offers a raw, wrenching novel of a boy on the edge. It’s a powerful story about love and loss and death and anger and the near impossibility for a sixteen-year-old boy to both understand how he feels and to make himself heard.
