Good but devastating. You see the prosecution of a black man that really meant no harm. You can also see the difference between the value of the white female body vs the black female body.

Tiffany Haddish has had a crazy life. I can't believe some of the things I read but you can see the love and forgiveness she has for her family, mom especially. After going through so much and becoming a success was inspiring to read.

Another 3-1/2 star read. In this one, Pine and her assistant Blum return to Pine's home town in Georgia, where her sister had been taken so long ago, to try and figure out who, why, and what happened to her sister. What she discovers shakes her to her core.
A Good Neighborhood

A fine read, but no discussion is deep enough to make a lasting impression, and the quality of the prose is not strong enough to compel the reader.
The Secrets We Kept
by Lara Prescott
View in Library Catalog



I was pleasantly surprised by this debut historical fiction novel. The characters are the women relegated to office keyboards after their skills were used in collecting and disseminating sensitive information at the end of WWII... But many continue to hold secrets and the exploration of their relationships, secrets, and projects provided an engaging narrative in a classic noir.

The book had a good idea and started off strong in its depiction of a figure from history but as it progressed it seemed rushed even the ending.
Severance

A compelling pandemic read that shares many thoughts we may have had over the past year and a half. Commentary on the way life goes on and how we can get stick if we're not paying enough attention.

I enjoyed the story and the message to be grateful and enjoy life. The writing style from time to time lost me. But overall enjoyed it.

I loved it. The three main characters Annie, Retta and Gertrude who I feel suffered the most. She had four daughters who she was raising in abusive shack. I was forgive me but happy she killed her husband Alvin. Retta loves her hubby Odell and is a good wife and fried to the other ladies she lost her only child. But she is very protective odf the girls. Annie is married to Edwi. Cole whom we found out is a child molester and get what's coming to him. They have five children one died hang himself sue to his father actions. Poor Lonnie has a struttering. The girl left home when they càme of age and never looked back. I hated the fact Annie tried to kill herself. After she realizes what her husband has done. I live that Gertrude was rewarded in the end for all she went thru. And I like that Annie make peace with her daughters even of her grandbabies call her aunt instead of grandma.
