In recent years the world has watched as America fights against itself for justice and a level of equalization. With the death of Trayvon Martin and more recently Michael Brown racism has been pulled into the courtroom and the homes of Americans. Possibly the person that grieves the loss of a child the most are the mothers. In this story we see Lesley, Michael Brown’s mother and Sabrina, Trayvon Martin’s mother come together and tell their stories. From the day they found out their sons had been murdered to their memories of the boys when they were to young to be guilty of anything. The bond that these women share is a simple one yet it is one of the strongest in human existence, motherhood. As both women tell their story they realize that the best thing that they have is the support of the other. A lovely story that shows us that even through tragedy smiling is still possible, laughing is ever-present and in time they both find a way to breathe again. (Fiction)
