Acerca de esta escucha
In The Skin I'm In, listeners saw into the life of Maleeka Madison, a teen who suffered from the ridicule she received because of her dark skin color. For decades fans have wanted to know the fate of the bully who made Maleeka's life miserable, Char. Now in Sharon Flake's latest and unflinching novel, The Life I'm In, we follow Charlese Jones, who, with her raw, blistering voice speaks the truths many girls face, offering insight to some of the causes and conditions that make a bully.
Turned out of the only home she has known, Char boards a bus to nowhere where she is lured into the dangerous web of human trafficking. Much is revealed behind the complex system of men who take advantage of vulnerable teens in the underbelly of society.
While Char might be frightened, she remains strong and determined to bring herself and her fellow victims out of the dark and back into the light, reminding us why compassion is a powerful cure to the ills of the world.
Sharon Flake's best-selling, Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel The Skin I'm In was a game changer when it was first published more than 20 years ago. It redefined young adult literature by presenting characters, voices, and real-world experiences that had not been fully seen. Now Flake offers listeners another timely and radical story of a girl on the brink and how her choices will lead her to either fall, or fly.

In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

Amazing
I found this book searching for one of Bahni’s talented reads. Reading the synopsis I learned that this was a sequel. I quickly found The Skin I’m In and was sold. That book was so well written and I couldn’t wait to know Char’s story. Well I got more than I bargained for. I got mad. I laughed. I cried. I got angry again. I cried. I cheered. I understood. This book was everything. I’m ready to listen to it again and I just finished. Just amazing….
