One Maryland, One Book

Have you read Ron Suskind's book A Hope in the Unseen? It is a great (true) story of a boy growing up in Southeast DC with few resources but big dreams. A reporter chronicles his struggles through high school and the first year at an ivy league college. Quite enlightening for those of us growing up middle class in America. The book was chosen as the first selection for "One Maryland, One Book" and is being discussed all over our state for the next couple of months. You can find out more about the book and how it is being used as a jumping off point for discussions of race, economic policies, public education, and more.
