Summary:
"In a shattering work that shifts between a womans private anguish over the loss of her beloved baby cousin and a scholars fierce critique of the American prison system, Danielle Allen seeks answers to what, for many years, felt unanswerable. Why? Why did her cousin, a precocious young man who dreamed of being a firefighter and a writer, end up dead? Why did he languish in prison? And why, at the age of fifteen, was he in an alley in South Central Los Angeles, holding a gun while trying to steal someones car?"--Dust flap.
