It's called struggling to find and accept yourself, It's called trying to figure out who you can be even when your brother - knower of all things - denied you in one moment and one sentence. So, every day, King goes down to the bayou to find his brother and bring him back to where he needs him to be. King is pretty sure his brother, Khalid, turned into a dragonfly when he passed to the other world. You go back into your journal where you wrote down all the wisdom you got from your brother especially when he was talking in his sleep and seemed to know more about the universe and how it worked than you could ever imagine. What do you do? For King, full name Kingston, you hang on. He never got that first beard he was waiting for. He never got to feel the beginning of stubble on his chin. What do you do when your brother, the brother you look to for the answers about everything, the brother who leads the way into the world, that brother, dies suddenly on the soccer field of a heart attack.
