This is a nonfiction book with as much drama and pacing as THE HUNGER GAMES. We may know the final outcome, but we have no idea how we’re ever going to get there, and this day-by-day account of the incremental progress-and setbacks-will keep readers turning the pages to find out what happened next. After all, how do you make a story compelling when everyone already knows how it ends? Cynthia Levinson has proven her genius here, because she accomplishes that and so much more in WE’VE GOT A JOB.īy anchoring the events surrounding the 1963 Birmingham Children’s March in the personal narratives of four of its direct participants, Levinson puts readers on the ground in Birmingham. Oscar Wilde supposedly said, “Any fool can make history, but it takes genius to write it.” While I don’t necessarily agree with the first part, the second part absolutely rings true.
