Your Own Kind

By Linda Fagioli-Katsiotas

If Kareem had not found the photo of Sarah, there never would have been that explosion at the gas station and Alexandros wouldn't have fled, but life is full of "if-onlys," especially for seventeen-year-old Sarah Petit.It is 1974 and Sarah finds herself alone in East End. She's involved with Andreas, a troubled young man with a drug problem; with Kareem, a lovesick newspaper boy; and with Alexandros, a new immigrant to the U.S. who barely speaks English but clearly knows what he wants. All four have grown up in drastically different worlds, but they've somehow been thrown together, 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?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."
