LAWRENCE HILL is a Washington D.C. native-raised Canadian that; best selling journalist gone author! An amazing man with an amazing story. I had the privlege to attend a book signing he did just a few minutes ago for his new book The Book of Negros/Someone Knows My Name. A non-fiction story about a woman from West Africa making a life for herself. The story is written by Hill through her eyes, a very difficult thing to do but he definitely nailed it.
After reading a bit of his book out to a room of approximately 300 people everyone was without a doubt engaged and asking questions.

I strongly suggest that everyone pick this up ... it's an unbelievable story that most immigrant families have faced.
