When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it is inadvertently shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy, her Ma, and aunties are working at an island resort on the California coastline.

We’ll perform well written
Revisado: 01-12-23
I really enjoyed this cultural sprinkled story. I enjoyed the flow, the well constructed characters, semi thriller of murder, the comical and surprising scenarios. The narrator provided an excellent presentation with accents, reflections and intonations. Great all around.

Dorothy A. Brown became a tax lawyer to get away from race. As a young black girl growing up in the South Bronx, she’d seen how racism limited the lives of her family and neighbors. Her law school classes offered a refreshing contrast: Tax law was about numbers, and the only color that mattered was green. But when Brown sat down to prepare tax returns for her parents, she found something strange: James and Dottie Brown, a plumber and a nurse, seemed to be paying an unusually high percentage of their income in taxes. When Brown became a law professor, she set out to understand why.

Reality Really Stings but we need to know
Revisado: 05-22-21
Thank you Dottie and your parents. this book opened my eyes for tears to flow. for me to see and to finally understand why I've had this under conciousness about my life course. I hated hearing the impossible ability to make significant changes and that white people's selfish greed and sense of entitled supremacy/privilege effected and still effects my people. I am however glad that you did share sliver ways that I can continue to exist and to see a further for my people. I can stay Black and be me. I will take heed and share this knowledge garnered. You've started the pathway, therefore, undoubtedly, I will follow and accept others along the way. May God continue to provide sunbeams and moonbeams your way.

In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

Incredibly awesome. If you want to truly understand the resurrection of why we are today as the most powerful country on this planet, facing a crisis or noticeable unrest then this is the book for you. If you want to understand why you react the way you do when the word racism abounds you or why the recent uneasiness stirs your soul; again, this is a bible of clarity and an eye opening experience. Isabel Wilkerson is the well informed person, with exceptional data and research, that who has been worthily ordained to spread the truth. Please read this book so you too can share the empathy and the truth necessary to care for your fellow human beings.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

As a strong, sensitive, emotional and highly aware woman of color, reading this book felt like a reflection of all of my lifetime feelings, emotions, and thoughts. I thank the author. it's my hope that an exuberant number of whites read, take an inward look to have a rebirth of their racism. if so, I may become optimistic for the well being of my future generations.

Tani Adewumi didn’t know what Boko Haram was or why they had threatened his family. All he knew was that when his parents told him the family was going to America, Tani thought it was the start of a great adventure rather than an escape. In truth, his family’s journey to the United States was nothing short of miraculous - and the miracles were just beginning.

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

loved it. the very first line through me. I thought it was going to be a story about a young adult. how wrong I was! this story allowed me to understand and reflect on my past. patchett moved effortlessly through the past life of a family in an abode of transparency yet opaque. windows may appear as a way to look through yet are we truly seeing?
