The first book I would include is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, which is a dejecting novel about a girl that leaves behind thirteen tapes, each dedicated a person that was responsible for her suicide. The fictional story seems shockingly authentic due to the pieces of reality artfully woven into it. It opens your eyes to the perspectives of the people around you, and throughout the book, it emphasizes the butterfly effect. How a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a hurricane; how one small

The book helped me realize the trials and suffering that racial
