Punching the Air

First a clarification - I thought going in that it was based on the actual story of the Central Park 5, which it isn't, but Amal's story is an echo of thousands of real stories.

I want every person, and especially every American, to read this book. It is a beautiful, well-titled gut punch that emptied me out. I cannot find words to put to the emotions it carries. All I can say is, this book left me hungry for justice, and that is a good hunger to have.

I'm going to go cry now.
