John Henderson

A journey of the soul

Revisado: 08-22-21

This book is an engaging story of survival. From a childhood of abuse and trauma with the corresponding damage to the psyche. The author takes the reader on what sometimes feels like a rollercoaster ride of tragedy, humor, and bad decisions to an eventual haven of self acceptance, coping skills, and survival.
The author very skillfully weaves this story in a way that makes you feel you are riding along as a passenger in her life. You cannot help but root for her and and feel joy for her in the end.

Paul Simon said it best!

Revisado: 06-22-21

“When I look back at all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.”
This book provides another example of the propaganda we were all taught. The war for independence in Texas was fought over slavery, not freedom. Travis, Crockett, and Bowie were not the great heroes we had learned about. The American Immigrants, most of whom had entered Texas illegally, defied Mexican laws, refused to pay Mexican taxes, and insisted on keeping slaves when slavery was illegal in Mexico.
This book is well researched and tells the story in a clear, concise way backed up with evidence. The irony is that the Mexicans were saying the same things about the border then that we are saying now. This was a great book!

Eye opening!

Revisado: 02-11-21

This book shows how several countries are experiencing similar movements. Nationalism, fear of immigrants, distrust of the press, and belief in wild conspiracies are common in many countries. These are precarious times with no easy solution in sight.

Blown away

Revisado: 02-02-21

I remember the mini series when I was in high school but I was working nights and didn’t see every episode. I also didn’t have the historical knowledge to fully appreciate the story. Now, as a retired history teacher, I was just amazed at the research, the detail, and the writing. I was blown away.

Good read for history buffs.

I thought it was a little dry at times but it painted a vivid picture of life on the frontier in the 19th century.

This book grabs you from the very beginning!

Revisado: 09-22-19

if you have spent any time in a rural area you will recognize the characters in this book. The author artfully weaves topical issues into a conservative, Christian, patriarchal family while developing characters that are authentic and relatable.
if you want a book that is thought provoking and entertaining this is a great choice.
