Book Recommendation

On a plane ride to and from Boston last week, I read The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore, and I recommend it highly. I had heard about the New York Times bestselling book for a year, and I finally had the perfect opportunity to read it. I am sure glad that I did, because it is a powerful story of family, education, and socioeconomics. The book cover states, "Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence?" If that question intrigues you in the slightest, pick up the book (or perhaps I should say "order it for your e-reader").
