Amber St. Clare

Twelve year old Tate Carson may live in the big city of Chicago but the world he really resides in is small, until a cold January morning when a pair of intense eyes from an alley acquires his interest. Unable to discount the curiosity of the man’s descent to his current curbside address, Tate involves himself in getting to know the stranger.
Grayson Harper is unique compared to his vagrant neighbors. The adrift and independent man in a worn tailored suit appears to have stepped out of his life one day. Unable to shake the curious Tate, the two strike up an unlikely friendship. In a world where few others pay attention to whom either really is, they form a bond that guides them to an otherwise dubious future.
While their encounters are humorous and remarkable, the cold streets of Chicago pose many threats that may hamper the improbable companionship and possibly shorten their life’s journey all together.
