NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the governor-elect of Maryland,
the “compassionate” (People),“startling” (Baltimore
Sun),“moving” (Chicago Tribune) true story of two kids with
the same name from the city: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar,
decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader.
The other is serving a life sentence in prison. Selected by
Stephen Curry as his “Underrated” Book Club Pick with LiteratiThe
chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy
is that my story could have been his.In December 2000, the
Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student
who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran
a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed
a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The
police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on
the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore.Wes just
couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that
the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After
following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to
its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted
murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting
him: Who are you? How did this happen?That letter led to a
correspondence and relationship that have lasted for several years.
Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered
thatthe other Wes had had a life not unlike his own:
Bothhad had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless;
they’d hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had
run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young
lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their
choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies.Told
in alternating dramatic 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.

Pokračování bestselleru Pomocnice! Je těžké najít zaměstnavatele,
který se nebude příliš vyptávat na mou minulost. A tak děkuji svým
šťastným hvězdám, že jsem získala místo u Garrickových. Chvíli tu
můžu v klidu pracovat, dokud nedostanu, co chci. Je to téměř
dokonalé. Jenže jsem se pořád ještě nesetkala s paní Garrickovou
ani se nepodívala do pokoje pro hosty. Jsem si jistá, že ji tam
slýchávám plakat. Při praní prádla si taky všimnu skvrn od krve
kolem límečku její noční košile. Takže si jednoho dne už nemůžu
pomoct a na dveře zaklepu. Jakmile se pomalu otevřou, spatřím za
nimi něco, co všechno změní…
