Set in Scarborough, a diverse neighborhood east of Toronto, this novel gives voice to residents navigating poverty, drugs and urban decay. Through multiple perspectives, the story reveals both hardship and hope.
Meet Victor, a Black artist facing police harassment; Winsum, a West Indian café owner striving to keep her business alive; and Hina, a school worker witnessing the impact of underfunded education. Their experiences intertwine with three children—Bing, a gay Filipino boy; Sylvie, a Native girl seeking stability; and Laura, coping with family neglect.
Catherine Hernandez’s compassionate narrative captures the resilience of a community that finds dignity in shared struggles. Scarborough offers an empathetic exploration of identity, belonging and the small victories that sustain us.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
