Title: Impoverished/Untutored Makes For A Long Row To Hoe
Review: Louisianians could perhaps best identify w/ this book partly because though the U.S. incarcerates more of its citizens than any other county in the free world, LA incarcerates more of its citizens than any other state in the nation. You'd be hard pressed to ID an African American family, regardless of economic/social status, that could not identify w/ having a family member who's doing time or having done so & the hardships associated w/ trying to redeem themselves. Without a doubt, I'd dare say, we could easily attach faces to the characters which made for very easy, interesting, & emotional reading.
