The truth casts a shadow over the kitchen—people like us in situations like this become hashtags, but they rarely get justice. I think we all wait for that one time though, that one time when it ends right.Maybe this can be it. There are those books that are important and timely, worthy of reading because of the social and/or political message that they send. They fill a gap in the market; they make waves. They need to exist. And there are other books that are well-written, emotionally-charge
“What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?”Every white person on this planet needs to read this book."Lack of opportunities. Corporate America don't bring jobs to our communities, and they damn sure ain't quick to hire us. Then, even if you do have a high school diploma, so many schools in our neighbourhoods don't prepare us well enough. Our schools don't get the resources to equip you. It's easier to find some crack than it is to find a good...
More like a 4.5 :).I loved this book so much. It made me see things from a different perspective. It educated me.

4.5/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 “At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.” CONFESSION: I saw this book, I liked its cover, but when I read the synopsis I was like “…uhm…I don’t really think this is my type of book”.

Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right. I was not emotionally prepared for this book. I'm stunned. This book was stunning. I think I've been ruined for all other books for the time being. What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?

I don’t know if I can say anything about this book that hasn’t been said before, and better.Sometimes, a book transcends the typical criteria for a rating or review. It’s not the plot, or prose, or characters that count, but the story itself. The sheer significance of the work negates any need to dwell on the details that tend to make a book what it is.This is the best example of that phenomenon I can think of.This is a story of unreal importance that came out exactly when it was needed and made...
A thoughtful, honest and fantastic book. One of 2017's shining stars for sure. Highly, highly recommend.
Wow. Just wow.In my life so far, I've had the opportunity to experience many different things, but there are certain things I'll never get/have to experience. For example, I'll never experience childbirth, not that I'm complaining, although I once had a cortisone shot in my hip flexor, and my orthopedist said she thought those hurt just as badly. (You can debate on that.)I'm also fortunate enough that I'll never have to worry about the police viewing me as a threat as soon as they see me, just b...
This is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to all year. If you are considering reading this one, listen to it. You wont regret it.
