In a society where color is an issue, equality is rare and inferiority is a disease. In Jamella A. Jihad’s The Summer of '89: A summer to Remember, discover the friendship of six young African-American males determined to help each other depart from the stigma that this society has about black males. Through each other’s support, all of them graduated with honors from one of the finest high schools in the state and have been accepted in prestigious colleges. Unfortunately, their young lives were cut short by a drunken driver, killing five of them instantly and leaving one of them paralyzed from the neck down. While struggling to survive, the young man dreams of his departed friends, urging him to write the story of their experiences to inspire many others who are just like them.
Witness how this young man finds meaning in his life by telling their story through his eyes. An inspirational story about brotherhood and survival, The Summer of ’89: A summer to Remember defines the foundation of life itself—friendship and love.
