One of my favorite books ever. It was BEAUTIFULLY written, heart-breaking, and an oh so important read about racism, the justice system, and the importance of art. I recommend this book to literally everyone I talk to. I do recommend you read this in paper format, as the layout is an important component of the art/poetry and the ebook loses this wonderful component.
