Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

An extraordinary coming-of-age story, adapted from the adult memoir by the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Water Dancer and Between the World and Me.

This was the abyss where, unguided, Black boys were swallowed whole, only to reemerge on corners and prison tiers.

Ta-Nehisi Coates grew up in the tumultuous 1980s in Baltimore, known back then as the murder capital of the United States.

With seven siblings, four mothers and one highly unconventional father: Paul Coates, a larger-than-life Vietnam vet and Black Panther, Ta-Nehisi's coming-of-age story is gripping and lays bare the troubled, often violent life of the inner city, and the author's experience as a young Black person in it.

With candor, Ta-Nehisi Coates details the challenges on the streets and within one's family, especially the eternal struggle for peace between a father and son and the important role family plays in such circumstances.
