DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMSPrinciples and ParadigmsSecond EditionANDREW S. We talked for two straight hours where I discovered, to my surprise, that I had a younger brother and two younger sisters. She sweetly said, "Hello?" My halting response of, "Mom" left the line dead for what seemed like hours. In that moment, my heart nearly stopped when I heard my momma's voice for the first time. With emotions overflowing, I dialed that number on Mother's Day 2003. Thanks to this man's help and some information from my parents, I was able to track down the mediator who had connected my birth mother with my adopted parents. As part of the Special Forces unit, I had access to an individual whose civilian job was in private investigation. Seven years later, I was in the Army stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. My halting response of, "Mom" left the line dead for what seemed like hours. Who was this woman? What might she be like? Did she share my gregarious personality? Because I could tell that my dad was uncomfortable with this conversation, I asked little about my birth mother over the next few years yet my heart yearned for more information. He explained that I was adopted, that my birth mother had extenuating circumstances that made her feel that I would be better off with a family that would be able to better care for me. That day, I a sked my dad why I was so different from the rest of my family. In stark contrast, the rest of my family was shorter, pale, and had personalities completely different than mine. I was twelve years old, tan, lean, and quite tall for my age. There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays. These times are an estimation, not a guarantee.

Of course, Rylant can’t resist an occasional thinly disguised critique of contemporary American culture, where so many are lonely and disconnected from family. The narrative is often a collection of Zen-like moments of self-discovery and serenity. It’s a near elegy celebrating a special character, a woman who practiced what she preached, and the special, if not basic, life she led. She doesn’t tell her story chronologically, and there is no plot to speak of. She marries Rupe when he’s 15, because he’s “tall and kind.” Rupe secures work as coal miner in West Virginia and they move to start their lives together. A novel-in-verse, this traces Ludie’s life from her birth in Alabama in 1910, until she dies at age 95 in West Virginia. Like so many others, this shares a spellbinding voice of the storyteller whose simple language and quiet voice manage to unfold a story resonant and meaningful on multiple levels. Some will recognize the “relatives” or the mountains or cups of coffee at the kitchen table and other autobiographical tidbits that have appeared in the body of the author’s work. Readers familiar with Rylant’s work from their childhoods will feel comfortably familiar with the setting of this narrative.

For a country boy, Boston was a completely new world, and the NBA a league of legends: Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, James Harden, Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Durant, and more. He left their home at age eighteen, drafted out of high school by the legendary Celtics. Abandoned by his father, then orphaned after the murder of his mother, Perk was raised by his grandparents in a small Texas town. Now, In The Education of Kendrick Perkins, he opens a different side of himself: a powerful and intimate memoir that goes beyond basketball to discuss the reality of being Black in America. As a fourteen year NBA player and starting center for the 2008 NBA champion Boston Celtics, Perk earned a reputation as an enforcer, a fierce defender, and a great teammate. Perkins' riveting stories about the NBA, his upbringing and social justice will make this book impossible to put down." - Emmanuel Acho, New York Times bestselling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man Kendrick "Perk" Perkins is known for his blunt, opinionated, "carry the hell on" commentary on ESPN's most popular shows.
