Scarborough, Ontario, a former municipality that is now a section of the city of Toronto, was established as a township in 1850 and as a city in 1983. In 1998, the provincial government, under the direction of Premier Mike Harris, merged six municipalities- Etobicoke, York, East York, North York, Scarborough and Toronto- to create the City of Toronto, a single municipality. Scarborough is located on Lake Ontario and makes up the eastern part of the city. “Scarborough | the Canadian Encyclopedia.” Www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca, www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/scarborough.

One sweltering summer in the Park, a housing complex outside of Toronto, Michael and Francis are coming of age and learning to stomach the careless prejudices and low expectations that confront them as young men of black and brown ancestry. While their Trinidadian single mother works double, sometimes triple shifts so her boys might fulfill the elusive promise of their adopted home, Francis helps the days pass by inventing games and challenges, bringing Michael to his crew's barbershop hangout, and leading escapes into the cool air of the Rouge Valley, a scar of green wilderness where they are free to imagine better lives for themselves (BookBrowse).
