Justyce is top of his class, captain of the debate team, and set for the Ivy League next year - but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. He is eventually released without charges (or an apology), but the incident has left Justyce contemplative and on edge. Despite leaving his rough neighborhood, he can't seem to escape the scorn of his former peers or the attitude of his prep school classmates. The only exception: Sarah Jane, Justyce's gorgeous - and white - debate partner he wishes he didn't have a thing for.
Struggling to cope with it all, Justyce starts a journal to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but do Dr. King's teachings hold up in the modern world? Justyce isn't so sure.
Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up (way up), much to the fury of the white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. And Justyce and Manny get caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it's Justyce who is under attack. The truth of what happened that night - some would kill to know. Justyce is dying to forget.
DEAR MARTIN is the novel that everyone needs to read, regardless of race, nationality, age, or gender. Stone says, "I hope [Justyce's] journey will give readers a way to identify their own questions. And answers."
Nic Stone is a native of Atlanta and a Spelman College graduate. After working extensively in teen mentoring and living in Israel for a few years, she returned to the United States to write full-time. Dear Martin, her first novel, is loosely based on a series of true events involving the shooting deaths of unarmed African American teenagers. Shaken by the various responses to these incidents - and to the pro-justice movement that sprang up as a result - Stone began the project in an attempt to examine current affairs through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s teachings. You can find her fangirling over her husband and sons on Twitter and Instagram at @getnicced or on her website, nicstone.info
