I feel like I've been reading non-stop the past few weeks!
Tonight I read Chill Wind by Janet McDonald. Other than being a really quick read it wasn't too bad. This is the story of Aisha Ingram, a 19 year-old single mother of two living in the housing projects of Brooklyn. The story is mostly about Aisha's life of chilling. She chilled in school, she chilled with her friends, and she had been chilling for 4 +years on Welfare benefits. Aisha gets a chilly dose of reality when she needs to find employment to support her young family. Does she get a break or is she forced to join a subway youth patrol?
Find it in the LHS media center under FIC MCD.
