For Ahkeem
Daje Shelton, 17, is determined to turn things around and make a better future for herself in her rough St. Louis neighborhood after a school fight lands her in a court-supervised alternative high school. But concentrating on school is difficult as she loses several friends to gun violence, falls in love for the first time, and becomes pregnant with a boy, Ahkeem, just as Ferguson erupts a few miles away. For Ahkeem illuminates the challenges that many Black teenagers face in America today through Daje's intimate coming-of-age story, and witnesses the strength, resilience, and determination it takes to survive.
