When Sounds Collide (by M. Day Hampton)

This was a difficult emotional book to read. Learning about Custis and his life growing up in the south as a young black boy and all he endures is heartbreaking. While the characters are well developed, there were several issues I had while reading the book. One in particular was how can Custis be treated so poorly as a black person but thinks he can go to New York and pass himself off as a white man? A book that deals with a lot of emotional issues ... family, racial inequalities, prejudices, love, loss, violence, and relationships. Some of these could be triggers so the reader should consider these before starting to read the book.
