Oh, sure, this cover looks innocuous enough, but this book will slowly and gently pull out your heart and make you weep like, well, me after I read it.
This isn't out yet but will be out in August. I saw a copy at the conference I just attended and man did it get to me.
It's the true story of a man from a Masai tribe in Africa returning from being in New York after the events of 11 September 2001. I won't say much more except that it's awesome. It's one of those books like Pink & Say that'll make me cry in front of my students no matter how many times I read it but it makes you proud to be a human being. Which is saying something.
