Clinton, MD Author Publishes Young Adult Novel

Backstreet, a new book by Daniel Vincent Pierce, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Three teenage boys, Michael, Sean, and Brandon, seem to be typical high school students at Evan Senior High School: they love sports, parties, and having fun. They all have to deal with different things while they grow up, but they eventually find friendship and support from each other. They discover a hot new hangout, BACKSTREET. It becomes the hottest place for teenagers to party on the weekends, but it also brings more danger than anyone could imagine. The three boys, misled by their arrogance and ego, don't realize their bad decisions can haunt them for the rest of their life.

Hopefully, the readers will picture their own high school experiences while reading this book. In particular those born in the 1950's and 1960's and remember the riots in the late 1960's after Dr. King's assassination. Some readers may find that their own children and teenagers in general continue to deal with the same issues.
