Khenan is a very independent 11-year-old with a powerful mental skill. He was very sad after the death of his mother. However, with the help of his friend Candice, he is now actively engaged in determining his future. Khenan is not happy living with his aunt, but he learns to cope without complaint. In his handling of bullies, we see Khenan's resolve to solve his problem on his own without the involvement of adults. Perhaps he did not always make the right choices, but Khenan is determined to do the right thing and correct his wrongs. He is determined to find his father and tries to get Candice's father involved in his search. When that effort backfired, he did not give up. He turned to his neighbor, Mrs. Blake, who was most instrumental in helping him to achieve his goal.
