About this listen
"One of the Good Ones is magic.” (Damon Young, author of What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker)
A shockingly powerful exploration of the lasting impact of prejudice and the indomitable spirit of sisterhood that will have listeners questioning what it truly means to be an ally, from sister-writer duo Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, authors of Dear Haiti, Love Alaine.
Isn't being human enough?
When teen social activist and history buff Kezi Smith is killed under mysterious circumstances after attending a social justice rally, her devastated sister Happi and their family are left reeling in the aftermath. As Kezi becomes another immortalized victim in the fight against police brutality, Happi begins to question the idealized way her sister is remembered. Perfect. Angelic.
One of the good ones.
Even as the phrase rings wrong in her mind - why are only certain people deemed worthy to be missed? - Happi and her sister Genny embark on a journey to honor Kezi in their own way, using an heirloom copy of The Negro Motorist Green Book as their guide. But there’s a twist to Kezi’s story that no one could’ve ever expected - one that will change everything all over again.
"Astonishing!" (Laura Ruby, two-time National Book Award finalist and author of Bone Gap)

What a wild twist - worth it!!
I could not have anticipated the turn this book took but WoW what a ride it was! Touching on the topics of today and the untimely death of a young black person is one thing but to add in a thriller twist while maintaining the integrity of the message is not an easy task but done EXCEPTIONALLY well here. Voice actors were good but once you’re wrapped in the story it doesn’t matter. Well done!!!
