Bullies

About the Book

Bullying can occur at all ages and in all types of relationships: in the family, at school, at work, and even between countries. James Laurent is an intelligent young boy from Philadelphia who is bullied during his early years by kids and also by some adults. As he becomes an adult himself, he faces even more difficult challenges until his shame and anger cause him to reach the breaking point. In order to seek revenge for his past, Jamie sets a course of action to punish the people, the city, and the country that have betrayed him. The actions of just one man can have national and international implications, extending in this case all the way to war between Israel and Iran!
