Former Broadway dancer and current agoraphobic Billy Shine has not set
foot outside his apartment in almost a decade. He has glimpsed his
neighbors--beautiful manicurist Rayleen, lonely old Ms. Hinman, bigoted
and angry Mr. Lafferty, kind-hearted Felipe, and nine-year-old Grace and
her former addict mother Eileen. But most of them have never seen Billy.
Not until Grace begins to sit outside on the building's front stoop for
hours every day, inches from Billy's patio. Troubled by this change in
the natural order, Billy makes it far enough out onto his porch to ask
Grace why she doesn't sit inside where it's safe. Her answer: "If I sit
inside, then nobody will know I'm in trouble. And then nobody will help
me." Her answer changes everything.
By the bestselling author of When You Were Older and Pay It Forward,
Don't Let Me Go is the heart-breaking, funny, and life-affirming story
of a building full of loners and misfits who come together to help a
little girl survive--and thrive--against all odds.
