This was a very powerful book and I felt privileged to read it and gain some limited insight into different perspective. I loved the two timelines and perspectives and how they tied together. The look at two similar men fighting sadly similar fights in two different ways was really powerful to read. I loved both characters and was rooting for them, and I definitely loved the way things tied together and ended. In 1968 Kevin is protesting in the wake of Martin Luther King’s assassination at his Ivy League college. Meanwhile in 1995 in the wake of outrage about the Million Man March Gibran is challenging his fancy prep school’s racist color blind attitudes and advocating for himself and his fellow Black students. Both boys had clear and wonderful voices and were a pleasure to read. I definitely recommend this book and will be looking for more books by this author.
