Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Powerful story of racism in the US
Revisado: 11-08-20
The author always wrote from her heart with kindness and understanding explaining to White Americans why Minority people feel hurt and angry when they are disregarded and marginalized through hundreds of years of history. If The reader is short of time, the last chapter should definitely be read , as the author describes practical actions they can take in their own community to fight against White supremacy in the local fault lines of injustice.

Storytelling incredible
Revisado: 01-10-18
Best read I know describing childhood trauma victims from insane mothers as they perceive themselves thru Mother’s insanity as they go thru their own life. The therapists timely guidance through the stored memories is incredible. A “must” read.

From the celebrated author of The Secret Life of Bees, a magnificent novel about two unforgettable American women. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world - and it is now the newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.

From one of Israel’s most acclaimed writers comes a novel of extraordinary power about family life - the greatest human drama - and the cost of war. Ora, a middle-aged Israeli mother, is on the verge of celebrating her son Ofer’s release from army service when he returns to the front for a major offensive. In a fit of preemptive grief and magical thinking, she sets out for a hike in the Galilee, leaving no forwarding information for the “notifiers” who might darken her door with the worst possible news.

Excellent writing and story telling
Revisado: 01-31-15
The characters felt every experience through every memory and body cell.
For the first time I could actually feel the experience of Israelis' living with Holocaust memories, intifada fears, war dead, torture as captured soldiers, effects on family lives, the beauty of geography, the importance of food, the complexities of love , and so much much more. Listening helped extend the experience even deeper. Wonderful writer!!!
