Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a
year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar
Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both
hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into
trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a
Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and
business leader, while the other ended up a convicted
murderer serving a life sentence? Wes Moore, the author of
this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound
question. In alternating 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. "The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine.
The tragedy is that my story could have been his."
