Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the parents of Trayvon Martin, are releasing a book called “Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin.”

The book will be released on Jan. 31, 2017, just a few days short of Trayvon’s birthday, when he would have turned 22.

“It first brings Trayvon back to life as the full, three-dimensional, complex kid he was, through his parents’ eyes,” said editor Christopher Jackson with Random House’s One World, “and then to the dark and confusing days following his death, which slowly transform into the blossoming of a powerful, historic movement for change and healing that we’re still watching unfold five years later. Everyone who’s been reading the manuscript is in tears by the second chapter.”
