The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his.
Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? Wes Moore, the author of this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound question. In alternating narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

两个相同名字,类似生长环境却不同命运的故事。真实的美国。生活的环境哪怕不能改变一个人的命运,至少也能决定你暂时的走向。永远不要忽略周围人对你的影响。推荐一看!
评分两个同名同姓在同一个区成长的男孩有不同的命运和未来,一个成为事业成功的政府公务员,一个在监狱中度生。真实的故事总是更让人深思。
评分One name, two fates. Different choices lead to difference outcomes.
评分好书 但是没有说出问题本质
评分What changed was that I found myself surrounded by people who kept pushing me to see more than what was directly in front of me, to see the boundless possibilities of the wider world and the unexplored possibilities within myself. People who taught me that no accident of birth would ever define or limit me.
