About
en-year-old Josiah "Jojo" Jones Jr. has spent more than half his life waiting by the window. Six years ago, his father vanished without a trace, leaving Jojo's resilient mother, Dee Cee, to raise three boys alone. On the afternoon of Jojo's tenth birthday, a familiar black truck pulls into the driveway. Josiah Sr. has returned, bringing promises of a fresh start.
The reunion lasts only hours. Before the sun sets, police swarm the house, and Josiah is arrested on heavy felony charges carrying a potential life sentence. In a highly unusual courtroom decision, a stern judge grants Josiah a ten-week delay in his sentencing. The ruling gives him ten supervised Sundays to spend with his sons before he is locked away. For Jojo, these Sundays are more than just a chance to reconnect-they are a ticking clock.
Refusing to believe his father is a common criminal, Jojo launches a desperate investigation into the missing six years. He enlists the help of his brilliantly loyal classmates: his best friend Jacob, a sharp new student named Emilio, and the intimidating "Queens" of Class 415. Together, they begin unearthing a dangerous trail of sealed court documents and hidden alliances.
As the final Sunday approaches, Jojo discovers the truth is far more complicated than innocence or guilt. He must navigate the morally gray world of adults, where a police chief holds secrets and a father's greatest sacrifice might look exactly like a crime. Dias Domingos is a gripping coming-of-age story about the weight of legacy, a mother's fierce protection, and a boy's quest to understand the man behind the handcuffs.
