Read With Us: Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood
Marcia Ruberg

The Athenaeum's Read With Us Book Club is free and open to the public. Discussion is encouraged.

Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
