Upward BoundUpward Bound

"Upward Bound is not a place anyone dreams of spending their days. The dreary adult daycare center for Los Angeles's disabled community is, for many of its clients and staff, a place of last resort. This includes Carlos, a young aide who...works there alongside his beloved sister Delia; Jorge, the gentle nonverbal giant... Tom, a beautiful young man with cerebral palsy, who pines for Ann, the summer lifeguard at the center's pool... then there's Mike, Upward Bound's director who came to L.A. to pursue an acting career but now channels his passion into staging an impressive holiday show starring the center's sorely underestimated clients. Framing these interlocking narratives...is the riveting and sometimes ironic testimony of Walter, a recent community college graduate who, after a family tragedy, must return to the company of his disabled peers"--Provided by publisher.
