{"product_id":"discovering-wes-moore-1","title":"Discovering Wes Moore","description":"From the Governor of Maryland comes the powerful true story of two fatherless boys from Baltimore—both named Wes Moore. One grows up to be a Rhodes Scholar, Army veteran, and governor; the other is serving a life sentence for murder.\n\nThe story of “the other Wes Moore” is one that the author couldn’t get out of his mind, not since he learned that another boy with his name—just two years his senior—grew up in the same Baltimore neighborhood. He wrote that boy—now a man—a letter, not expecting to receive a reply. But a reply came, and a friendship grew, as letters turned into visits and the two men got to know each other. Eventually, that friendship became the inspiration for Discovering Wes Moore, a moving and cautionary tale examining the factors that contribute to success and failure—and the choices that make all the difference.\n\nTwo men. One overcame adversity. The other suffered the indignities of poverty. Their stories are chronicled in Discovering Wes Moore, a book for young people based on Wes Moore’s bestselling adult memoir, The Other Wes Moore.\n\nIncludes an 8-page photo insert.\n\nPraise for Discovering Wes Moore\n\n“Moore wisely opens the door for teens to contemplate their own answers and beliefs, while laying out his own experiences honestly and openly.”—Publishers Weekly\n\n“He argues earnestly and convincingly that young people can overcome the obstacles in their lives when they make the right choices and accept the support of caring adults.”—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0385741685\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0385741685.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Moore, Wes\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
