In this story, that child is Ishmael Roberson the ten-year-old son of community activist, Sheema Roberson known as Mama Sheema. Those perils Ishmael was chosen to lead black people out of was the web of chaos on the streets of Memphis.

The only wrinkle in the rotten machine’s plan was the strong forces that Ishmael had behind him. Soon, a civil war ensued followed by a revolution that was decades in the making! That revolution was televised and is now being transcribed and emphasized in this riveting tale. So, turn these pages with your mind and hearts open and find out how a little child led one brown girl to find her hidden strength so that she could change the world!"

"Bound To Silence: Justice For My Son" by Niki Jilvontae

My Speculation:  

All that is left to say about "Bound To Silence: Justice For My Son" is Wow what a good read this author has presented us.  Yes, it is quite a 'powerful' read that can be identified in what is going on with many of us today.  The three main characters...Ish, Sheema, and Rah were off the chart well presented in the lives of Black Lives Matter even here in great old America 2020 in all is going on.  I believe this author did a wonderful job of capturing it all where I loved at the end how the story turned out with those getting just what they deserved.  

You will have to pick this novel up and see for yourselves how well this author brings this subject matter out to us all.  There is definitely be a subject matter to ponder over long after the read.  I will also say this is a very fitting read especially in what in going on in America, 2020.
