If it weren't for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flat-lands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes and on Monday, November 4, 2013 each of their lives were forever changed.
A compelling story. I recommend this book to anyone who may benefit from reading a compassionate moving tale about someone that is entirely different than yourself.
