The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWes just couldn't shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: \u003ci\u003eWho are you?

Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered that the other Wes had had a life not unlike his own: Both had had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless; they'd hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Wes Moore\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWes Moore\u003c\/b\u003e is the governor of Maryland.
