(2) YA Black seventeen-year-old Justyce experiences police violence and his prep school classmates assume his Yale acceptance is because of affirmative action, yet his neighbors call him a "race-traitor." Justyce's letters to Martin Luther King Jr., alternating with the main narrative, are an effective device: what would Dr. King think about recent headlines that inspired the novel? Stone avoids easy resolutions and lets hope reside in unexpected places.
