Left alone to understand a global by which love and hate occasionally hideously masquerade, compelled to face unspeakable assault, his background, and the dark corners of their own heart, Abdul paws his way toward maturity and toward an identification he is able to remain behind.In a generational tale that goes with the velocity of thought from a Mississippi grime plantation to Harlem in its heyday; from a struggling Catholic orphanage to downtown artist's lofts, The Little One informs of the twenty- first-century child's battle to locate a way toward the near future.
