A review by brandie_shanae
Behind You by Jacqueline Woodson

5.0

I am so happy that I was able to finally read this book. This is the companion book to "If you come softly". This is the continuation of Miah's (Jeremiah) death in Central Park where is was racially profiled and was shot in the back. I really enjoyed this book because we get to step into the lives of Miah's loved ones and what they were thinking and going through when they lost Miah. I even dropped a few tears reading this book because I know how it feels to lose someone unexpectedly and their time on this earth was cut short. Though I will also say while reading this there was a lesson that I learned and that is life does go on, but that does not mean you will forget the people that you have lost or who no longer is on this earth. Our loved ones will always be remembered and as we go on with our lives one day at a time... we always look behind us while stepping into the future and the paths that your life will take you. This was a phenomenal read and heart felt that I will definitely reread.
