The young adult novel by Italian priest Alberto Ravagnani tells the story of the power of true friendship.

Federico lives a comfortable life in a respectable neighborhood, attends a classical high school and spends his free time at the parish youth center. At only eighteen years old, Riccardo is taking care of his younger sister alone, having dropped out of school to find work, and financial hardship has led him to a life of crime. It seems unlikely that the boys would ever become friends - especially since they are both in love with the same girl. Yet, through a combination of circumstances, that is exactly what happens.

A tense and moving youth novel, based on the author's experiences working with young people, is a true ode to the transformative power of true friendship. (taken from the main page of emka.si)
