It wasn’t supposed to take Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin five years to write a book about the death of their son, Trayvon Martin. But their grief has made finding the words unbearable until now.
Martin’s parents collaborated to write “Rest In Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin,” published Tuesday by Spiegel & Grau. The book recounts the journey of two grieving parents, thrust into the spotlight by tragedy and on some days, still as close to their loss as the day he died.

But I do know a couple of uber-rich 1%’ers who just moved into their mcmansion in Georgetown who would love to have some copies, as long as they’re free.
I wonder who wrote the book for them, and how much was he paid?
