About
Anthony and Adonia enjoy a normal, middle-class upbringing--complete with loving parents and a modest island home. Then, in the blink of an eye, everything changes. Suddenly the young siblings find themselves orphaned by the actions of a drunk driver and, unwilling to enter the foster care system, set out on their own.Now survival is an everyday struggle as they scrounge the streets of Island City, New York, for food and water while trying to keep law enforcement off their tail. But if they want to continue living on these rough-and-tumble streets, they'll have to rely on more than their cunning and resourcefulness. Their new goal? To find themselves a "home" in the High Risers, one of four prominent gangs that have claimed territory on the island.I Used to Be a Rich Kid is the story of two siblings coming of age in a harsh and unforgiving world. As the duo continues to face darker and more dangerous struggles, their fate remains unclear--and their safety desperately hangs by a thread.
