She allows them to be selfish and loving, impatient and supportive and mostly, realistic. The reader is allowed to see how young people act when their lives change and how they deal with the economic struggles that hit their families. One of the more poignant messages deals with weight and self-esteem issues. We also get to see the young ladies deal with the timely and disturbing problem of violence among girlfriends and boyfriends." ~ Angelia Vernon Menchan, APOOO BOOKCLUBHattie Hogan-Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650540633094827007.post-38935006999590509292010-10-31T22:40:12.148-04:002010-10-31T22:40:12.148-04:00We Could Be Brothers (Scholastic Press-Nov 1, 2010...We Could Be Brothers (Scholastic Press-Nov 1, 2010)<br /><br />We Could Brothers addresses the presence and lack of positive male leadership in the home, and how it dictates the way young African American men view themselves, each other, and the world around them.<br /><br />derrickbarnes.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650540633094827007.post-36352001158603401652010-10-28T21:46:04.947-04:002010-10-28T21:46:04.947-04:00For author award
