One of the attackers is the ex-girlfriend of Tashera's boyfriend Ahmed and is jealous of the relationship. While Tashera physically heals from the attack in the hospital, her mother, Shelia and wheelchair bound older brother Khalil both take matters into their own hands.
Their main objective is to seek retaliation for the attack. The story quickly intensifies when Shelia is jailed after physically attacking the mother of one of the attackers. Meanwhile, Khalil plots to strike back at Tashera's attackers by reconnecting with his former Deus-Tres gang members. The reaction of the attack described from the viewpoint of the police, school and community is raw and honest by the author and motivational speaker, Yasmin Shiraz. Since there are some surprises in the story, I won't give away the events that lead up to the ending of the story.
I have had "Retaliation" on my bookshelf for months and kept putting off reading it due to other projects I've been working on. When I finally had the opportunity to read it, I did so in three sittings over a hour period - I just couldn't put this book down because it was so true to life. The book is based on Shiraz's experience working with a 15 year old that was attacked by teens in her neighborhood.
She vividly describes the violence in a community and how different members of the community react to it. I think the lingering question Shiraz presents readers with is if they think violence is the answer and a justifiable reason for retaliation. Given what is taking place in my city as well as other large urban cities across the nation, I think that this book should appear on district reading lists for pre-teens and teens and shouldn't be missed.
One person found this helpful. I love this book I purchased for my daughter but I had to read it first! A real page turner with real situations and emotions that are truly relatable. Yasmin Shiraz did an amazing job with this book. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Very well done for the intended audience. I love the characters.
My heart went out to all the girls. I pray that no one had to face what these four girls experienced. I teach in an urban school.
