“Get Along Gang” - A Powerful Coming-of-Age Story of Survival, Friendship, and Healing from Trauma

In 1991, 13-year-old David is struggling with the trauma of an abusive father and a broken home. Sent to live with his estranged father in Arizona, David enters a new school grieving the loss of a student in a tragic accident. It’s there that he meets Jay, a fellow outcast, and is introduced to a group of misfits: gang members, survivors of abuse, and others who have been labeled failures.

Despite their painful pasts, David and his new friends form an unexpected family bound by resilience, strength, and the shared experience of overcoming their trauma. As they band together, they use their pain to build one another up, defying the odds and discovering the true power of friendship.

Get Along Gang is a raw, emotional story of healing, survival, and the bonds that help us rise above our struggles. Perfect for readers seeking stories of overcoming adversity and finding strength in the most unlikely places. A heartfelt coming-of-age journey that reminds us all of the power of connection and the courage to keep moving forward.
