Description
A look into the inner life of the inner city. A foray into the mind and
heart of a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, torn from her destiny
because she dared to stand up and speak up for those who don't have a
voice. A glimpse inside the hopeless hallways of New York City's failing
public schools. When a high school protest turns bloody, the police
turn on the innocent. Queen of Corona is the story of a Roza, who is
running after a student protest she helped orchestrate ends in tragedy.
She is ushered onto an airplane by her mother, headed back to the Old
World - for the first time in her life. Her journey is both a way of
escaping a seemingly dead-end existence and a chance at rediscovering
herself and a new way of being. It is a coming-of-age novel in a
tumultuous time. It is a lesson on how fear is the most dangerous aspect
of our Trumped-up existence.
Advance Praise
"In Queen Of Corona, we are snatched up and tossed squarely into the squirming, righteous moments of female teenage-dom in New York City. As if that weren’t harrowing enough, Hazy deftly weaves her flip-yet-fragile protagonist’s inner conflict about her Polish heritage into the mix. Setting itself apart from other coming-of-age tales, Queen Of Corona lives fully in the present with it's seething commentary on current political events... then quickly snatching us back into the past. In a writing style that is as resilient, brave, and thoughtful as the main character herself, we cannot help but trace and re-trace the lines between high school and heritage that Esterhazy presents."
