A truly inspiring memoir and coming-of-age story, Born a Crime depicts the author’s upbringing in South Africa during apartheid. It displays his ability to turn negative factors of his environment into a positive force for his adult life with the help of his truly amazing mother.
Our Community Reads will invite participation from all members of the Santa Cruz County community — from teens to adults of all ages — to read the same book at the same time and thus create a shared experience.
The Aptos Friends is unrolling a series of events planned primarily for February and March that will give readers of all ages the opportunity to discuss the book and its many currently relevant themes.
