When she was sixteen, Elle Johnson lived in Queens with her family; she dreamed of being best friends with her cool cousin Karen from the Bronx. Coming from a family of black law enforcement officers, Elle felt that Karen would understand her in a way no one else could. Elle’s father was a highly protective parole officer; her uncle, Karen’s dad, was a homicide detective. One night, Karen was shot and killed in a robbery gone wrong. The NYPD and FBI launched a manhunt to find the killers, and the subsequent trials and media circus marked the end of Elle's childhood innocence.

Incredible memoir about trauma and forgiveness
Revisado: 06-20-22
Beautifully written and painfully vulnerable retelling of a young woman’s loss of innocence from the murder of her cousin. Johnson takes you into her world with her perfect descriptions and heart wrenching experiences as she tries to come to terms with forgiving the killers. Excellent reading.

Evelyn Harbinger sees nothing wrong with a one-night stand. At 149 years old, Eve may look like she bakes oatmeal cookies in the afternoon and dozes in her rocking chair in the evening, but once the gray hair and wrinkles are traded for jet-black tresses and porcelain skin, she can still turn heads as the beautiful girl she once was. Can't fault a girl for having a little fun, can you?
