Topic > The Lost Boys of Baltimore: The Other Wes Moore

I read a great book in my English class, I found it very interesting, and like the book, it is a true story. His name was. The other Wes Moore. It is the story of two boys growing up and living in the inner city of Baltimore, Maryland. They both had the same name Wes Moore. The story tells of how both boys had to struggle throughout their lives and how they both came from a single-parent, fatherless family. We'll call them Wes Moore (A) the author and Wes Moore (B).
