If you're going to read this memoir by a member of the Little Rock Nine, don't plan on doing anything else that evening — despite its name, I can't remember a book that's made me cry harder. Warriors Don't Cry offers a heart-wrenching look inside one girl's psychological response to an openly hostile school environment: surviving mind-bending levels of racist bullying and trauma at school, how it reshapes friendships and family at home, and the unexpected ways it can create new sources of community.
