Take My Hand
by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
A WOW Of A Book! (7/5/2023)
What an incredible story with highlights of historical facts. What an eye opener for those interested in racial truth. I felt for the main characters the two young sisters whom were treated without remorse in their upbringing and where they lived. The saga of the entire family brings light in how families are socially and economically hurt by unjust decisions in our country. I felt for the human condition in which these sisters lived with their grandmother and widowed dad. A WOW Of A Book!
The Dry Grass of August
by Anna Jean Mayhew
An Eye Opener (6/22/2023)
When I started reading “ The Dry Grass Of August “ I was taken aback from how it touched me emotionally. This is when I knew that this book was going to be incredible. The writer uses vivid descriptions and words to capture the essence of how racism plague the south even today. I learned a lot from reading Mrs. Mayhew’s novel. I was so into the the book that I had to buy her second book, “ Tomorrow’s Bread”. Thank You for writing such a historical fiction with some eye opening facts during and still a turbulent time in our history. Wow, good read!

An awakening plot (6/21/2022)
What an eye opener of a book!

The plot starts off with this incredible nurse who finds a way to correct the wrongs of medical procedures done to poor black women in the south. A book I truly recommend to learn from mistakes that were done years ago. Good Read!
