Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison by Shaka Senghor

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.25

As someone struggling with a family member drawn into this toxic cycle, and completely at a loss for how to help someone help themselves, this book was a potent reminder that change comes from within. I admiringly read about Shaka’s honesty, his true commitment to change and community development, and the respect and dignity with which he took control of his life. I did not like his usage of a word to describe transgender people in this work, but it is my sole critique.
