*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
When the horrific Newtown murders of twenty elementary school-aged children occurred in Connecticut in 2012, shock reverberated around the world. But in Connecticut's poorest cities, like Hartford, where Cindy Brown Austin was born and raised, the untimely murder of urban youth had been occurring for years. In the tradition of Claude Brown's Manchild in the Promised Land, and Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes, Cinders is a searing coming-of-age memoir about the struggles of urban children being locked out of the American dream. An Apostolic minister and former columnist for the Hartford Courant, Cindy has been profiled by the New York Times and published by Readers Digest and Essence magazines. A recipient fellow of the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, and a finalist in Ebony Magazine's annual fiction writing contest, she is also the author of By the Rivers of Babylon-her debut novel, which was published in 2007 by Strebor/Simon & Schuster. Cindy's writings are her way of documenting how violence and injustice impact urban children.
