In this \"compassionate retelling of an abjectly tragic story\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e), Danielle Allen--a prize-winning scholar--recounts her heroic efforts to rescue Michael Alexander Allen, her beloved baby cousin, who was arrested at fifteen for an attempted carjacking. Tried as an adult and sentenced to thirteen years, Michael served eleven. Three years later, he was dead. Why did this gifted young man, who dreamed of being a firefighter and a writer, end up murdered? Why did he languish in prison? And why at fifteen was he in an alley in South Central Los Angeles, holding a gun while trying to steal someone's car? Hailed as a \"literary miracle\" (\u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e), this fierce family memoir makes mass incarceration nothing less than a new American tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 04, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48121147293944,"sku":"9781631494949","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/wH9suaQGDe9781631494949.webp?v=1783311096","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/cuz-an-american-tragedy-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
