A Hope in the Unseen introduces a teenager who studies as if his life depends on it--and it does. An honor student walking the gauntlet of sneers and threats at his crime-infested high school in Washington, D.C., Cedric Jennings achieves the impossible: a 4.02 grade-point average and acceptance into Brown University. Yet the Ivy League world, with its bewildering array of intellectual and social challenges, presents situations almost as intimidating as the inner city. Only Cedric's faith, intelligence, and willpower can sustain his hope in an unseen future--a life of rewards he struggles, each day, to envision.
