Overview
“The choices we make about the lives we live determine the kinds of legacies we leave.”
Imagine growing up in the same neighborhood as someone with the exact same name as you.
The Other Wes Moore tells the story of two boys – both named Wes Moore, both born in the same neighborhood in Baltimore. Both with difficult childhoods, both experiencing trouble with the police, both fatherless...
So, how is it that one Wes Moore becomes a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow and business leader while the other Wes Moore becomes a convicted murderer, serving a life sentence?
Authored by a man also named Wes Moore, the story is told in alternating narratives as the two tales unfold simultaneously, illustrating an often heartbreaking, often profound picture of a generation of boys attempting to navigate the troubled waters of a hostile world. Though the story takes place in the 1970s, its impact can still be felt, and the themes explored seem more relevant than ever.
