Traci

And unexpected journey

Revisado: 02-11-24

I started out really enjoying this book. The by any means necessary fortitude of the main character to get out of her circumstances and craft a life that she wanted was interesting and almost admirable. Hearing about the starlet’s Hollywood journey was reminiscent of watching an old Hollywood movie. Learning about her marriages and lovers was even interesting. But by the end of the book the story just seemed to drag on. The twist at the end drew me back in but by then I was just finishing the book because I had already gotten so far. It was an ok read for me.

Coming of age in depression era Harlem

Revisado: 01-03-23

A vibrant story of a adolescent black girl growing up in depression era Harlem. The author utilizes distinct descriptions of even the most mundane things to bring you right into the life of 13 year old Francie, her family, friends and the trials of being poor and black in America. From the challenges of walking the long way home to avoid bullies to the belittling interactions with the government assistance office, you experience a year of threadbare hopes and dreams juxtaposed with the harsh realities of poverty and despair. Yet by the end of the book Francie awakens to the fact that there are a few things within her control and stands in the little power she has.
