Golden Boys

Written by Sonya Hartnett

The Jenson family has moved again. Their father showers them with toys to make the neighbor children want to come to the house. The Kiley family has always lived in the same house. They are very poor, with many children, and their father is an alcoholic. The families’ lives intersect in an odd way and life will never be the same for either family.
