Dear Martin

Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can't escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates. Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out.

Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up—way up, sparking the fury of a white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it's Justyce who is under attack.

Justyce McAllister este in fruntea clasei sale si este pregatit pentru Ivy League - dar nimic din toate acestea nu conteaza pentru ofiterul de politie care tocmai l-a pus in catuse. Si, in ciuda faptului ca si-a lasat in urma cartierul dur, el nu poate scapa de dispretul fostilor colegi sau de ridiculizarea noilor colegi de clasa.
