Rebel teen Roberta Forest – a smart poet who is black and Catholic – is questioning God
and the adults in her life. She’s finding solace in writing poetry and reading about Malcolm X, but when she becomes ineligible to enter the school essay contest, she explodes. A confrontation with her mother will expose some family secrets Roberta may not be ready for. Gritty and graceful, Malcolm and Me is a coming-of-age story about family, faith and what it means to forgive.
