It is the story of 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove--a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others--who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

This is a great book & an important story. There is a great deal of abuse that makes it a hard read.
The point, is extremely worthwhile.

In this remarkably moving memoir Ariana Neumann dives into the secrets of her father’s past: years spent hiding in plain sight in war-torn Berlin, the annihilation of dozens of family members in the Holocaust, and the courageous choice to build anew.

Great, Well-documented Story
Revisado: 08-03-24
Ms. Neumann does a great job of presenting many details into a coherent & tragic story. Most of it is wonderfully written, but there are parts that are over-written.
I love mechanical clocks, so that was an unexpected treat.

New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new love on the horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets its sights on France. An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire consequences.

Excellent Account of Polish Women in the Holocaust
Revisado: 07-09-24
The only Holocaust survivors I knew growing up was a Polish couple at church on the Southside of Chicago. My parents were very close to them. Dad kept explaining that most people leave out many of the people Hitler had tried to eradicate from the earth.
This book brought their trauma to life for me. This story takes these women far into their adulthood and lives after WW2 & their days behind the Iron Curtain.

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol.

This is a short book with lots of information. Defining all the terms gets very cumbersome in the beginning, so I would have done that part differently. I can tell by the questions I get, people just give up.

It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. England is facing attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Those in power bend justice according to their will, regardless of ordinary people and often in conflict with the king. Without a clear rule of law, chaos reigns. In these turbulent times, three characters find their lives intertwined.

I enjoyed this more than expected. The world was young, but advances were made every day.
I am glad I didn't live then, but Roller gave me a great understanding of what it was like.

Philippa Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project'. In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower.

Intriguing Theory
Revisado: 04-29-24
I'm pretty new to this story, so I found it very difficult to follow as a listener. I need to read footnotes & look up characters I do not know.
There were also many missed edits which only added to my confusion. I got through it, but I'm not convinced or very satisfied.

Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post-World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and '60s-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear.

Fascinating
Revisado: 04-03-24
I enjoy Phillip Yancey. His family story & his faith journey are fascinating. That being said, I didn't really understand why some of his childhood was included. Did his pets qualify as light? Did his love for science show him about God or something else?
