I loved this book! I didn't actually read the hardcopy, though; I listened to it as a book on tape, read in the sultry voice of Andre Braugher. (I'd listen to this guy read the phone book...!!). But it's the book that I am registering here

This is a story about a young boy who lives in the projects of Brooklyn with his mother and wants to learn about her family. I thinks its an interesting autobiography. ET 6th
