Trayvon Martin’s parents will release [a book about their son](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/bookmark/trayvon-martins-parents-sign-book-933270) in January, just a month before the five-year anniversary of his death.

Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton have reportedly been working on the book for several years; in [2013](http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/14/business/media/trayvon-martins-parents-are-planning-a-book.html), they met with several publishers to discuss the idea. The book ended up at Random House’s multicultural One World imprint, which is being rebooted by editor [Chris Jackson](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/penguin-random-house-editor-interview-932606) (known for editing Ta-Nehisi Coates’ _Between the World_ _and Me,_ Eddie Huang’s _Fresh Off the Boat_ and other touchstone books about race in America).

Jackson describes this book as bringing Trayvon “back to life as the full, three-dimensional, complex kid he was, through his parents’ eyes, 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,” he tells the _Hollywood Reporter_. “Everyone who’s been reading the manuscript is in tears by the second chapter.”

[_Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin_](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0812997239/?tag=timecom-20)will debut Jan. 31, 2017.
