Dear Justyce by Nic Stone

4.0

I listened to this on my cross-state trek for work. It’s really well done. I’m glad the author explained in the afterward that she took liberties regarding who’s allowed to see whom in jail in order to advance the story, because that always bugs me. But the biggest ( and saddest) skeptically aspect of this story is the idea that a young incarcerated black kid would get that kind of help and support from so many people in a position to help him. But I still appreciate the story, and hope that more stories like these open us to the possibility of what could happen if we listened, believed in and supported rather than assumed, judged and abandoned.
