Both Sides Of The Moon

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Jimmy understands all about belonging and not belonging. He sees himself as part of both sides of the moon: ...kind of black man, sort of nigger, in my own country, and kind of white, sort of The Man, by the other half of me. I am torn, yet I am more whole since I am of both...

He is part of a fractured family, and it's only when he learns about his forebearβ€”a brave warrior who became an outcast from his tribeβ€”that he begins to understand the darker implications of his heritage.
