In 2010, Wes Moore published a best-selling book, "The Other Wes Moore", which told the story of his childhood and early adulthood, as well as that of another young man, who grew up in Baltimore, in the same neighborhood and, coincidentally, with the same name. Their outcomes, however, couldn’t be more different. One Wes Moore was convicted of murder, and imprisoned for life, while Wes Moore the author graduated from Johns Hopkins University, went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, became a decorated war veteran, an investment banker, a White House Fellow, an entrepreneur, and television host. His new book picks up his story where "The Other Wes Moore" left off. It’s called "The Work: My Search for a Life that Matters". He joins host Tom Hall on the line today from station KUOW in Seattle.
Wes Moore will be speaking about the book at the Pratt Central Library at 7 p.m. tomorrow. More details here.
