I found the story of the boy in the novel, The Boy from Willow Bend, by Joanne Millhouse, to be a universal one. The story, set in Antigua, is about an adolescent child who blooms despite impossible situations and conditions.  The road to adulthood is filled with joy and pain. It is a story that plays out in every culture. This child, who grew up in a road which, symbolically and physically, leads to a dead end, learns after many disappointments, that it does bend after all and he is given a chance to escape violence and poverty. He learns valuable lessons from adversity. These lessons, he learns, will later become the most instructive in creating a future path.
