The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine.

The tragedy is that my story could have been his.

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.
