It's Memphis in the 1970's, it's sweltering outside, and eleven-year-old Angel is trying to maneuver her increasingly messy childhood. She's at the mercy of the adults in her world--a mother who's on the hunt for a rich new husband, a cruel nun named Sister Claudia and a stream of potential step-parents.
There's also her crazy father, Ray. He's a dangerous man and an awful parent, but Angel holds out hope that one day, he'll change. It's a hope that grows stronger when he hints of buying her a incredible gift--one that could transform her entire life.
Weaving together threads of deception, dysfunction and childhood resilience, "The Watch" is a coming-of-age story you'll never forget.
