Your Own Kind


en Limba Engleză Paperback
This is a story of yearning and desire, of the basic need to connect with others and the expectations of culture and tradition that sometimes keep us from real love, a love that is truly with someone of our own kind. It is 1974. Alexandros is a young man who has left his small village in the northern mountains of Greece to come to New York to work in his cousin's restaurant. The restaurant is in East End, a small seaside village fifty miles from New York City-not exactly what Alexandros had expected. His lack of English and his frustration at having ended up in a place not much bigger than the one he left, create tension that is only increased when he unexpectedly falls in love with Sarah. Sarah has come from a small town in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, to work in East End and to escape the sins of her past. And her growing relationship with Alexandros is threatened by more than just language and culture after she befriends Kereem, the neighborhood paperboy. Kareem is a budding adolescent, too young for Sarah but infatuated beyond reason. His jealousy and thirst for revenge propel his actions before he can see the cruelty in them. Though Alexandros, Sarah and Kareem, have grown up in drastically different worlds, they come together in East End's 1970s culture of free flowing drugs and permissive lifestyles. And with one misguided decision after another, they set in motion a series of unstoppable events that lead to violence and heartbreak. Maybe life would be easier if people would just stick with their own kind. But what does that really mean?
