Summary

When you look like us-brown skin, brown eyes, black braids or fades-people think you're trouble. No one looks twice at a missing black girl from the projects because she must've brought whatever happened to her upon herself. I, Jay Murphy, can admit that, for a minute, I thought my sister, Nicole, got too caught up with her boyfriend-a drug dealer-and his friends. But she's been gone too long now. If I hadn't hung up on her that night, she'd be spending time with our grandma. If I was a better brother, she'd be finishing senior year instead of being another name on a missing persons list. It's time to step up and do what the Newport News police department won't. Nic, I'm bringing you home
