pickWell, it‘s a nonfiction heartbreaker about a(nother) promising young kid lost to the streets, penal system, and violence - a kid our society has failed. Hard to read but important. The author, an accomplished academic, gets a little too “academic” in parts, but a good read overall.
Just heard about this book tonight and was shook by simply reading the synopsis. I immediately added it to my TBR pile for Summer 2018.
Waiting for my son to get his braces off so I‘m doing a little reading. Very interesting story.
I sat at the back of the tent so I could listen to part of panel about Race, Crime & Law in Black America before I had to go to catch another panel. Dr. Allen who teaches at Harvard wrote this book about her cousin after Henry Louis Gates told her she was going to have to give some lectures on the topic. #texasbookfestival
