William's Capture: And a Story about the Power of Change Agents - Paperback

by Zinovia Canale (Author)

William is a young boy from Senegal who makes his way to America around 1974 and lands in Boston. His journey is one of deep sadness, abuse, and resiliency based on real events. Many conversations today address the complications of migrants entering America's borders. William's Capture takes place during the 1970s and 80s when America's attention was directed toward different issues. William's story begins as a true one that is fictionalized and includes romance and adventure with the intertwining of characters that become family. Author Zinovia Canale encapsulates the life of this boy through his authentic underlying and horrific view of the world as a child and later as a recovered adult with a belief in the goodness of humanity. William's Capture, while explaining the young boy's journey, also reveals truths of educational and societal institutions and interactions with them. His is a touching tale of survival and growth despite impossible odds.
