Historia
The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. Now it's 1910, and the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love—even where they’re not supposed to.

New beginning
Revisado: 05-26-23
The author did a great job of tying pieces together at the end. I am Thankful for the historical piece at the end which is what the author of ‘The Secret Life of Bees’ did with her stories. It makes the work of fiction take on a new dimension. I highly recommend this reading for young adults struggling to make the transition from high school to college.

Historia
In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

The story reports on three generations from Jamaica to North America. It was a book club pick. I thoroughly enjoyed the history mentioned. All cultures have borrowed from other countries in most cases due to war. The banjo came from Africa for example.

Historia
This debut collection is a complicated love letter to Washington, DC, and to those who call it home: a TSA agent who's never flown, a girl braving new worlds to play piano, and a teacher caught up in a mayoral race. These characters navigate life's "training school" - with lessons on gentrification and respectability - and fight to create their own sense of space and self.

I enjoyed the topic. Technology is just getting more complicated and more a part of what we do day in & day out. It reminded me of Data from Star Trek

I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see who the murderer was. It wasn’t gory. The attention to details was good. I liked the characters.

Dual novels
Revisado: 10-22-22
I enjoyed the book. There was new vocabulary to learn-you are never to old to learn. The story read as 2 separate stories to me: espionage and romance. They were both greatly detailed however I had a hard time blending them. I am looking forward to her next work. I also read and enjoyed’Stacey’s Extraordinary Words’ and ‘Lead From the Outside ‘ which I immensely enjoyed.

We have several of the Dahl books and they are great for listening to on short driving trips. This one in particular talks about baby animals, which is useful info for children as well as adults.

I signed up to get Entrepreneurship by Melvin Gravely and much to my astonishment, there was another book in its place. This book included interesting music & speech from Smokey Robinson. It was not what I asked for. I did not complete the book.
