Review

"It is rare that I read a book that moves me the way this one did...If you don't read any other book(besides mine), get this one!"

--Tavis Smiley

 

"This is truly a life-changing book, one that shows that anything is possible...with a little help from our friends."

--James McBride, author of The Color of Water and Miracle at St. Anna

 

"After you've read it, pass it on...because it is probably the most important book for African-American families that has been written since the protest era...Besides their personal stories, the doctors share practical steps that can be useful to a circle of friends in making their own pact...Get The Pact.  It may just change a teen's future."

--Chicago Sun-Times
