This story about an unarmed African American boy who is shot to death in a park by a police officer is topical and interesting, but Parker Rhodes weaves history and current events in a powerful story about race relations and the potential for change. I can't recommend this one highly enough.

This is a powerful and timely story. Each point of view is represented- Jerome, his friend, Carlos, his sister, the cop, and even the cop’s daughter. The story does not point blame which reinforces the hope that the story will bring about discussion, understanding, and forgiveness.
