Resumen del Editor
The riveting true story of the crime, punishment, and transformation of a Seattle boy who came of age inside the adult prison system and who, once on the outside, rebuilt a new life as a man.
After twenty years of incarceration, little was familiar to newly released Willard Jimerson. His once-gritty city was a technology hub. An African American was president. And with a six-inch screen, he could access a vastly changed world. From Claudia Rowe, author of The Spider and the Fly, comes the story of the life Willard took and the life taken from Willard, the story of everything he had to regain and was yet to discover.
Claudia Rowe’s Time Out is part of Missing, a collection of six true stories about finding, restoring, or accepting the losses that define our lives - from the mysterious to the inspiring. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

But the journey of the “Little Rock Nine”, as they came to be known, would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path, one that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change the landscape of America.

Historia
If it weren't for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But, one afternoon, on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned.

Historia
All too often, we hear about the dangers of male friendships in which peer pressure prevails over common sense. But for George Jenkins, Sampson Davis, and Rameck Hunt, strong and supportive male friendship was a powerful antidote to the temptations and pitfalls of street life. It led three boys to make a vow to be there for one another, to encourage one another every step of the way, until they overcame the odds and became doctors.

Historia
In The Other Side of the River, his eagerly awaited new book, Kotlowitz takes us to southern Michigan. Here, separated by the St. Joseph River, are two towns, St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. Geographically close, they are worlds apart, a living metaphor for America's racial divisions: St. Joseph is a prosperous lakeshore community and 95 percent white, while Benton Harbor is impoverished and 92 percent black. When the body of a black teenaged boy from Benton Harbor is found in the river, unhealed wounds and suspicions between the two towns' populations surface as well.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Arno Michaelis, a former skinhead and founder of one of the largest racist skinhead organizations in the world, knew he had to take action and fight against the very crimes he used to commit.

For he did the unthinkable: Before a national audience, he described what life was truly like for the Black people of Greenwood, Mississippi.

Ahed Tamimi is a world-renowned Palestinian activist, born and raised in the small West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, which became a center of the resistance to Israeli occupation when an illegal, Jewish-only settlement blocked off its community spring. Tamimi came of age participating in nonviolent demonstrations against this action and the occupation at large. Her global renown reached an apex in December 2017, when, at sixteen years old, she was filmed slapping an Israeli soldier who refused to leave her front yard. The video went viral, and Tamimi was arrested.

Reading helped aave his life.
I'm glad Willard was able to leave prison and flourish. The books and edcuation he had access to in orison helped expand his consciousness.
I honestly wish more adolecents and teenagers were given psychological assessments that allow them to grow and develop socially, mentally physically...outside of prison.
I am also glad that Ms. Williams found it in her heart to accept his growth.

A True Story of Hope and Redemption
I located this book in my library and I don’t know when I picked it up and I’m not positive it’s an actual story but it certainly reads like one. Willard is a fourteen year old junior high student in Seattle who lives with his grandparents and runs the streets at night after managing to kiss his girlfriend through her ground floor window until she shoos him away. One night while running with a pack of his pals, he meets up with Jamie whom he met once before and had obtained her phone number but she never responded to his calls. For some reason, a teen scuffle broke out and Willie fired a few bullets with no intention to kill but to show his power: unfortunately this was a terrible mistake and Jamie ended up dead so the judicial system placed this child in an adult prison for the next 2 decades! Willard took advantage of his ability to read and spent much time with books from the library and took classes inside until he graduated with further education. Once he was released, society had changed a great deal (especially with technology) and he dedicated his new chance to learning this and to holding down a reasonably respectable job. I don’t want to give out more spoilers but Willard does care about involving himself with youth and making them aware that one thoughtless bad action can carry lifetime consequences but he models hope and inspiration that one’s path can be one of self-forgiveness as much as possible. If he meets up with his adolescent girlfriend is a possibility he considered … and well, you can read about this for yourself.
The short story takes just over an hour to read so there is not much depth to the prison experience or its aftermath but I did grow to care about what happens to the main character so the message of his life slowly changing for the better was important to know…and to celebrate!
