As a young English teacher keen to make a difference in the world,
Michelle Kuo took a job at a tough school in the Mississippi Delta,
sharing books and poetry with a young African-American teenager
named Patrick and his classmates. For the first time, these kids
began to engage with ideas and dreams beyond their small town, and
to gain an insight into themselves that they had never had before.
Two years later, Michelle left to go to law school; but Patrick
began to lose his way, ending up jailed for murder. And that's when
Michelle decided that her work was not done, and began to visit
Patrick once a week, and soon every day, to read with him again.
Reading with Patrick is an inspirational story of friendship, a
coming-of-age story for both a young teacher and a student, an
expansive, deeply resonant meditation on education, race and
justice, and a love letter to literature and its power to transcend
social barriers.
