At-Risk: StoriesIn Amina Gautier's Brooklyn, some kids make it and some kids don't, but not in simple ways or for stereotypical reasons. Gautier's stories explore the lives of young African Americans who might all be classified as "at risk," yet who encounter different opportunities and dangers in their particular neighborhoods and schools and who see life through the lens of different family experiences.

In Amina Gautier's Brooklyn, some kids make it and some kids don't, but not in simple ways or for stereotypical reasons. Gautier's stories explore the lives of young African Americans who might all be classified as "at-risk," yet who encounter different opportunities and dangers in their particular neighborhoods and schools and who see life through the lens of different family experiences.
Gautier's focus is on quiet daily moments, even in extraordinary lives; her characters do not stand as emblems of a subculture but live and breathe as people. In "The Ease of Living," the young teen Jason is sent down south to spend the summer with his grandfather after witnessing the double murder of his two best friends, and he is not happy about it. A season of sneaking into as many movies as possible on one ticket or dunking girls at the pool promises to turn into a summer of shower chairs and the smell of Ben-Gay in the unimaginably backwoods town of Tallahassee. In "Pan Is Dead," two half-siblings watch as the heroin-addicted father of the older one works his way back into their mother's life; in "Dance for Me," a girl on scholarship at a posh Manhattan school teaches white girls to dance in the bathroom in order to be invited to a party. As teenagers in complicated circumstances, each of Gautier's characters is pushed in many directions. To succeed may entail unforgiveable compromises, and to follow their desires may lead to catastrophe. Yet within these stories they exist and can be seen as they are, in the moment of choosing.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect UV Protection and Comfort for Outdoor Activities
Color: Mist Green, Size: Medium
I recently purchased this UV long sleeve shirt for outdoor activities, and I'm extremely satisfied with my choice. It offers excellent UV protection with a UPF rating of 50+, keeping me safe while at my sons soccer game. The lightweight, breathable fabric kept me cool and comfortable, and its moisture-wicking properties worked well. The fit is was a little flowy. While it is slightly pricier than other options, the quality and performance make it worth the investment. I highly recommend this shirt for anyone seeking a stylish and functional solution for outdoor adventures!

Ideal fabric, great fit.
Color: Light Pink, Size: Medium
Loose fitting back is ideal for hiking, walking and other outdoor activities. The fabric is breathable - great for working out. Even though the back if loose fitting, the front and boatneck fit well.

Prefect coverage and cooling.
I have to have sun protection and I live in the south. This is perfect for my daily walks. Covers what I don’t want to put sun screen on, the loose fit hides tummy area and loose in back. Liked it so much, I just ordered two more. Soft, silky, and Very cooling and lightweight.

Weird spot on it.
Color: Black, Size: Large
I kind of like this top, especially the feel of it. Unfortunately, it has an odd stain on the front. Looks like a heat mark from being pressed? I hope it comes out because I threw the bag away. If it does come out I'll take down this review.
