At-Risk: StoriesIn Amina Gautier's Brooklyn, some kids make it and some kids don't, but not in simple ways or for stereotypical reasons. Gautier's stories explore the lives of young African Americans who might all be classified as "at risk," yet who encounter different opportunities and dangers in their particular neighborhoods and schools and who see life through the lens of different family experiences.

In Amina Gautier's Brooklyn, some kids make it and some kids don't, but not in simple ways or for stereotypical reasons. Gautier's stories explore the lives of young African Americans who might all be classified as "at-risk," yet who encounter different opportunities and dangers in their particular neighborhoods and schools and who see life through the lens of different family experiences.
Gautier's focus is on quiet daily moments, even in extraordinary lives; her characters do not stand as emblems of a subculture but live and breathe as people. In "The Ease of Living," the young teen Jason is sent down south to spend the summer with his grandfather after witnessing the double murder of his two best friends, and he is not happy about it. A season of sneaking into as many movies as possible on one ticket or dunking girls at the pool promises to turn into a summer of shower chairs and the smell of Ben-Gay in the unimaginably backwoods town of Tallahassee. In "Pan Is Dead," two half-siblings watch as the heroin-addicted father of the older one works his way back into their mother's life; in "Dance for Me," a girl on scholarship at a posh Manhattan school teaches white girls to dance in the bathroom in order to be invited to a party. As teenagers in complicated circumstances, each of Gautier's characters is pushed in many directions. To succeed may entail unforgiveable compromises, and to follow their desires may lead to catastrophe. Yet within these stories they exist and can be seen as they are, in the moment of choosing.Binding Type: Paperback

Rich moisturizer
I love this rich moisturizer, great for winter skin. I have received comments that my skin looks nice when I wear this. I only add a bit of bronzer for color and it gives my skin a dewey look and it lasts all day.

Smooth Skin
This is my favorite moisturizer. I’ve bought so many others and paid a fortune but this is the best! It hydrates and doesn’t clog my pores.

new fav
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i’m always really skeptical of trying new face washes but I do love this brand and I’ve been using their lotions forever. It’s the only thing that keeps me hydrated so I thought I would give this a try I do have pretty dry skin so if I use that product alone with no moisturizer, of course I’m going to be dry, but with this wash and their lotion that I use, my skin is hydrated, I am not breaking out. This is definitely become a favorite for me, I do wear a little bit of makeup, but I haven’t tested if the wash itself takes off all the makeup I use their micellar water and then I use the cleanser and that works great!! even with that double cleanse as long as I’m using that lotion, my skin is not dry at all. I have noticed my makeup goes on smoother and I’m hydrated through these winter months. the gel texture is different, but it feels nice on the skin for me It doesn’t feel like you have to keep washing to get it off. A little goes a long way and I wouldn’t really say there is a scent to it but it’s just a very clean smell
