A must read: for Blacks who are struggling to make it, through high school, through university, facing obstacles every day. for the white world, to give you (and me) a glimpse of how difficult it can be for a promising young black student to face the taunts of his peers, to be told "you'll never make it" and to have to do 'better' just to break even. But Cedric did it, because of his mother's constant encouragement and presence, and because of his "hope in the unseen." I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
