tony loneman from the book there, there. Tony Loneman is a perceptive and self-aware twenty-one-year-old Native American man living in Oakland who was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, which he calls "the Drome." Though he struggles with how others perceive him, he finds strength in his intuition, street smarts, and deep respect for his grandmother, Maxine. Despite his involvement in drug dealing and a planned powwow robbery, Tony yearns to be seen for who he truly is and feels most empowered when wearing his Native regalia. See more
