I think the story relates to speaking our truth is that I am mostly looking forward to reading the novel and learning more about it.

Summary of Main Events - Chapter 1 - 3
Paper Boy is going on a paper route because his friend Art (Rat) is going to a farm with people on his family. Paper boy owes him something so he is doing the paper route for Art.
Paper Boy has a speaking problem called Stuttering. When he talks he finds it hard for him to sound out the words because his vocal box is not letting the right flow come out. Paper Boy gives his yellow handled knife to Ara T (a man who goes around and collects rubbish) to sharpen. Paper Boy meets someone on his paper route their name is Mrs. Worthington, they don't meet on good terms. Mrs. Worthington thought that Paper Boy called her a (insert a female dog here). They end up on some sort of good terms.
