Rounding up to five, and only because I can’t help but compare to Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow which was just a little more compelling. But this one is different. It’s party history and part mini biographies. Seeing it through personal experiences gives it a new later worth reading, and I found myself wanting happy endings for all of them, knowing there are millions more for whom a happy ending is an elusive fantasy only.
