Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to 12 years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding.

Emotionally Brilliant!
Revisado: 06-21-18
American Marriage by, Tayari Jones,
is a brilliant, 320 page consummation of words. The 2018, Oprah Book Club novel, leads readers on passages of racial injustices, intertwined with intricacies of a young matrimony--starring Roy, and Celestial (AKA, Georgia). How the couple came to be as one and how they came to be undone as three, traverses the novel. In a time where world's collude and collapse, by the way of love, anger and various heartbreaking events, Jones’ gripping writing command, vacillates from one character to the next. From letters, to unexpected visits--back and forth through time. Never ostracizing her reader, but rather pulling them in through family histories, Jones, underscores present dilemmas, along with current pain, felt by people who love in spite of obstacles shared by the forsaken and abandoned. I will be reading everything Jones has to offer.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Trevor Noah's, coming of age story, Born A Crime, vividly invites readers/listeners into his real-life account of Apartheid. The long-standing after effects, and the global relevance are told with humor and humility, endearing you to Noah; along with those who suffered under the discrmiminatory system of oppression. Noah's transparency afforded me many laughs. And his love for his mother was heartfelt throughout. The title and Noah's truth of being born a crime, had me anticipating a heavy and depressing experience, however, it was the opposite, despite the content.

Tiffany can't avoid being funny: it's just who she is. But The Last Black Unicorn is so much more than a side-splittingly hilarious collection of essays - it's a memoir of the struggles of one woman who came from nothing and nowhere. A woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter.

Reads Like A Comedy
Revisado: 01-23-18
Listening to The Last Black Unicorn can only endear listeners to Ms. Haddish. She shares her raw pain in a manner that makes you laugh and and cry simultaneously. As I read, I thought of several people who could benefit from hearing her story; in hopes that it would help them push through their barriers.
