Idren just finished "Coming Into Adulthood in Today's America" by M. Johnson-Smith (A Story of My Final 100 Days of College). i read. i smiled, i laughed, i thought and i read back & i smiled more. This is an honest, courageous & riveting book by a young brother who looks inward as he trods. M. Johnson-Smith writes vividly about America and adulthood but the core is a vital telling of those flows of black experience-african experience outside, even before America and adulthood. With humor & keen observation in his journalism, the author gives insight in 100 days (each chapter a day) on plain kickin' it with friends & family, moving in ultimately unsatisfying circles at work & college and leaving Boston for worldly connections in Ghana, West Africa. If you want to feel a young mind confronting the restlessness & excesses of the world with positivity & growing clarity, idren recommend this book. Highly.
