Story
In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions - those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves in the fight against a system that is still rigged.

Story
Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Except really, it's for black girls. From "bad" neighborhoods. But maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

Amal Shahid has always been an artist and a poet. But even in a diverse art school, he's seen as disruptive and unmotivated by a biased system. Then one fateful night, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. "Boys just being boys" turns out to be true only when those boys are white. At just sixteen years old, Amal's bright future is upended: he is convicted of a crime he didn't commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it?

Ella has a Thing. She sees a classmate grow up to become a caring nurse. A neighbor's son murdered in a drive-by shooting. Things that haven't happened yet. Kev, born while Los Angeles burned around them, wants to protect his sister from a power that could destroy her. But when Kev is incarcerated, Ella must decide what it means to watch her brother suffer while holding the ability to wreck cities in her hands. Rooted in the hope that can live in anger, Riot Baby is as much an intimate family story as a global dystopian narrative.

If there's one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it's that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad's in prison. Life's not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav's got everything under control. Until, that is, Maverick finds out he's a father. But it's not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child.

Yunjae was born with a brain condition called alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends - the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that - but his devoted mother and grandmother aren’t fazed by his condition. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful Post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you", and when to laugh. Yunjae grows up content, even happy, with his small family in this quiet, peaceful space.

Publisher's summary
Over the course of one night, two girls with two very different backgrounds must rely on each other to get through the violent race riot that has enveloped their city.
Lena has her killer style, her awesome boyfriend, and a plan. She knows she's going to make it big. Campbell, on the other hand, is just trying to keep her head down and get through the year at her new school.
When both girls attend the Friday-night football game, what neither expects is for everything to descend into sudden mass chaos. Chaos born from violence and hate. Chaos that unexpectedly throws them together.
They aren't friends. They hardly understand the other's point of view. But none of that matters when the city is up in flames, and they only have each other to rely on if they're going to survive the night.

Story
Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Except really, it's for black girls. From "bad" neighborhoods. But maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

Story
You're only stuck if you stop moving. Pain and regret can hold us captive. Our past mistakes and trauma tell us to blame others, feel ashamed, or turn to a temporary fix that often becomes a permanent escape. The pain might not be our fault, but the healing is our responsibility. In this devotional with entries such as "From Scars to Stars," "If You Ain't Dead, God Ain't Done," and "Quitting Is No Option," Pastor Kim reminds us—as only she can—that staying stuck requires as much energy as moving forward.

A bag of chips. That's all 16-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad's pleadings that he's stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad's resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad's every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered.

The ladies reading this did an A+ job
the novel did a great job painting the picture of what ordinary people face in our current social unrest. it painted the picture of two very different people, seeing the world through each other's eyes, because they took the time to recognize what the other was going through, even when faced withtheir own emence pain. The ladies doing the reading on this work really brought life to the story.

What a read!!!!
Wow what a wonderful book. I laughed out loud, I cried, I was sad, and mad. Happy and reflective. This book did a wonderful job at expressing both sides of racial injustice and the fall out that it causes on society. It was not so deep thAt it was difficult to continue to read which I think was the point( I think) but Just skim the surface and left room for reflective thought. I finished it in less than 8 hours. I couldn’t stop.If you are teetering on the edge of whether to get this book Teeter no more. get the book,read the book, and then pass the book along.

Two viewpoints moving forward understanding.
Appreciated the back and forth approach to situations that have become so familiar. Understanding at whatever level is a way forward to understand tensions in our times.

Meh
I didn't like how Campbell was more articulate than Lena especially during internal dialogs. I feel like this revealed more of the writer's views on the thought patterns of black and white people which disturbed me.

Excellent
As a white girl from California who moved to Atlanta, this book hit home. People not from the South dont fully understand the depth and breadth of racism that still exists. Black Southerners find that ignorance inconceivable. But this book illustrates how hard it can be to look beyond what people think they know. Campbell has to reckon with racist concepts she didn't know she had. Lena had to realize that white doesn't mean life is easy.
Sometimes when cultures clash violence ensues. Other times, it takes a clash of cultures to find common ground.

Great listen!
I normally listen to audiobooks when I’m cooking, walking, cleaning, or generally doing something else, so I often get distracted.
However, this book was so well-written and well-narrates that it not only kept my attention, but grabbed it and made me remain engaged 100%. I feel like this would be a great story to read, but it was even better to listen. Absolutely recommend!
