Description:
“Sandy and Xavier are young, accomplished, and happily married living
their American dream. Xavier is Sandy’s protector while Sandy’s ambition
inspires her husband. Together they’ve forged the perfect life together. Or so
they thought, until a tragedy in the couple’s affluent suburb causes a ripple
effect that will forever change their world.
The effects of the incident permeate to D.C.’s halls of justice –
threaten democracy as we know it and the relationship Sandy and Xavier once
thought they had. Deception and repressed rage spawn a murdering spree that
forces battle lines to be drawn and everyone must choose a side. The burden of
swift and commensurate justice falls upon a D.C. jury charged with delivering
the country from the threat of total anarchy.
Blood will be spilled. Bodies will drop. Yet, regardless the jury’s
verdict, America will never be the same again.”

Appraisal:
I feel like saying very much about this story will be a spoiler. The
basics are that Sandy (a doctor) and her husband Xavier (a police officer) are a
happily married couple. But when a police officer shoots a person of color
under questionable circumstances and Sandy realizes how easily this could have
been her, Xavier, or others in their community, things get shaken up.
This story looks at a long-time issue in the US of law enforcement appearing
to be too quick to pull the trigger and then suffering no consequences. I Am
is an intense, educational and thought-provoking tale.
FYI:
Some adult language.
