Getting The Point: Through The Red Gate

A gritty, fast-paced coming-of-age tale set in the slums of 19th-century Pittsburgh, Getting the Point follows Kile, a ten-year-old orphan with street smarts and grit beyond his years. After his father's execution and abandonment by his mother, Kile survives using his wits, forming a gang of fellow orphans and working under the protection of powerful underground figures. As Kile rises through the ranks of the city's underbelly, he builds alliances, navigates danger, and seeks something more than just survival - respect, security, and a place to belong.
