Little Boy Blue by Edward Bunker
Young Alex Hamilton is intelligent and independent but given to sudden fits of violent rage. Rebellious since his parents split up, Alex is constantly absconding from foster homes and institutions to be with his father, a broken man who can't give his son the home he desperately needs. Surrounded by well-meaning, over-worked social workers, vicious and cruel authority figures but always by no good peers, Alex is on a collision course with the law and himself.
A scalding experience - and a literary triumph in the tradition of Dreiser, farrell and James JonesThis is an important book -- Roderick Thorp
