Tales of Sandtown is a poignant collection of essays that captures the essence of growing up in Sandtown-Winchester, one of Baltimore's most storied and complex neighborhoods, during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Through the eyes of a young boy coming of age, these essays chronicle the challenges, joys, and bittersweet truths of life in a community shaped by systemic inequality, deep cultural roots, and unyielding resilience. From playing a hood version of Pokémon and trying to impress neighborhood girls, to staring down the barrel of a police officer's gun, to watching a friend's house engulfed in flames on the evening news, each piece offers an intimate portrait of navigating identity, dreams, youth, and survival in a city that gave as much as it took.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith raw honesty and lyrical storytelling, Where You From? invites readers to witness the beauty and complexity of a community often misrepresented or forgotten, highlighting its humanity while grappling with its struggles. This is a Baltimore boy's love letter to Sandtown and the people who call it home, asking: How does where we're from shape who we become?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735324744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735324746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Phillips Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Albert Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48114165154047,"sku":"9781735324746","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50daf65d-dc3b-497a-ac81-eaa020a9d008.jpg?v=1769619509","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/where-you-from-albert-phillips-9781735324746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
