Unspoken #8
A Starless Midnight
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King Jr.
A decade after eighth grader Asylia Kenneth's father, Mwenye, arrived in America from a brutal journey that began in his homeland, he is found guilty of a horrendous school shooting that killed dozens of autistic students and injured many more. When he pleads guilty to the crime, the media gobbles it up and the world watches his case unfold in disgust. While the general public and family members of lost children root for the death penalty, Mwenye s lips remain silent and the only person aware of his secrets is the one person who refuses to tell.
Asylia and her mother, Tylissa, flee to another state to try to avoid the controversy involved with the case, but Asylia's days at school are filled with taunting and bullies who still believe black and white people are not equal. As Asylia unravels her father's secrets, she is determined to stand up to the racist kids at her school and show them that it's not the color of the skin that makes a person, it's the color of their life.
Inspired by past hero's and her current hero her father she embarks on a journey that will change her life and those around her forever.

I haven't read this book, but it seems wonderful and i'd hate to see anyone look at the cover and not appreciate the book for the beauty it really contains.
