Better, Not Bitter: Living on Purpose in the Pursuit of Racial Justice by Yusef Salaam
4.0
An amazing, inspirational memoir of Yusef, one of the wrongly accused and imprisoned Central Park Five.
Yusef shares his story of how his faith and his family helped him survive his wrongful imprisonment and how he found his purpose.
While he touches on the Central Park Five case, this memoir mainly focuses on Yusef’s mindset throughout trial, imprisonment and his exoneration. While I was very angry at what Yusef had to endure, I was inspired by his outlook and faith through it all.
