Melanated Women Read is a book discussion group by and especially for Black women. This month we discuss The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates, by Wes Moore.The book shares the true story of two kids with the same name: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison.
Told in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.
