Lenox Staring at the Ceiling - Hardcover

"Lenox Staring at the Ceiling" is part I of a heartfelt story of a boy who lost his mother before the age of 5 and lived in extreme poverty and despair for most of his life. It's a compelling, funny and beautiful tale of overcoming unsurmountable odds, poverty, abuse, bulling, depression, anxiety, fear and low self esteem while growing up in a sexist society in his hometown of Goiania, Brazil.

What draws readers attention is the attention to details and the incessant "chicken skin" moments and adventures readers get to embark on.
