Reseña del editor:
Be Not Blind to Its Touch - a contemporary novella for older teens. Whereas most books set in our real world are slanted for girls, this story centers on a boy – his issues, his anger – a youth on the threshold of manhood, unprepared to deal with a rage that threatens to consume him. Pete is a seventeen-year-old caught in a life of anger at his father who was convicted and sent to the penitentiary when Pete was eight. The past nine years have been filled with resentment at the town that has taunted him as the son of a jailbird. The words 'you’re not welcome here' echo in his ears. But there are those who do care about him – who move in the shadows. And when Pete crosses the line, they fight desperately in a race against time to try to save him from the very real consequences of his lawless actions.
