This book was a great read that I gave 5 stars for many reasons. This master piece was written very carefully with great attention to detail from a historical standpoint related to racism. It took courage, understanding, and passion for the author to write this book. Not to mention, how she had to step outside of her comfort zone to be able to see different perspectives from the lens of African Americans. To be able to truly understand discrimination, segregation, micro aggression, oppression and racism from an African American point of view was a big great thing. Here are my book review take aways the literary techniques that was outstanding are the analogy, the imagery, the tone, the mood but most importantly the symbolism. Additionally, if you want to make a positive change in society this is how you used your audience or platform to do it one small step at a time which leads to small great things.

Amazing story of race; ultimately the human race. Must read.

This book was a page turner. It delves into several Social issues current today. It also causes one to question themselves.

Interesting and controversial book. Not light reading but worth the read. Haven’t read a bad “Jodi” book yet.

I recommend this book constantly it’s so well researched and written One of the best books I’ve ever read ….. ever!

What great writing. I was engulfed in these characters. I felt like I really knew them. Thank you for telling such a difficult story.

I really loved this book. I read it for one of my classes during nursing school and it turned out to be so good. It was heartbreaking but also kept me on my toes. I recommend.

This is not an audiobook

This book was hard to read, but I’m so glad I did. Wonderful!

Thank you! I absolutely loved this story.
