Sample Book Insights:

#1 I often think about my sister and best friend when I am experiencing something that would allow me to tug on a line that begins Remember when… and draws a seemingly ever-present past nearer.

#2 I grew up in Chicago’s historic Bronzeville community, which was the center of the city’s Great Migration. My family and neighbors have been working to secure opportunities for generations, but those dreams will soon be dashed.

#3 When we were growing up, we had always been able to move around our world of low-slung public housing and gated high-rise developments freely. But right around adolescence, we had to start making a choice. If we chose right, a promising future lay ahead. If we chose wrong, the path was unforgiving.

#4 I will think of the ledge and that jump years later when I am separated by more than miles from Kim. In my dreams, I will see Kim standing at that intersection, waving goodbye.
