Have you read any good books lately? I have a few suggestions:
Miss Virginia and the Sweet Sisters: A Novel—Here’s what it’s about:
For a mixed-race girl,
acceptance amid life and death is hard-won.
In Miss Virginia and the Sweet Sisters,
we are immersed in the Kentucky bluegrass horse country world, coming-of-age
wonders, and the mysteries of life experienced by young Lindsey Hollis. The
backdrop of murder and the seedy side of small-town life heighten the suspense
interwoven with the racial tension of late 1960s Kentucky. With the specter of
sinister premonitions and secrets that need to be kept, Lindsey must find a way
to bridge the social and racial divides that separate before the killer strikes
again…. And time is running out.
Miss Virginia
and the Sweet Sisters examines the less often discussed intra-racial tension of the
Black community in the late 1960s South. Multicultural in scope, readers will
learn about the internal struggles of acceptance in an authentic, raw, and
honest way.

Looking In from Outside: Poetry & Prose—Here’s what it’s about:
Through what lens
should we view life? The one that seldom looks back—except to find joy.
Looking In from Outside is Donna Lawrence’s debut collection of poems and prose.
This book offers honest and authentic reflection written for those who have
loved and lost or shown courage when faced with life’s challenges, however
large or small they might be. It is a collective mix of poetry and prose
on several themes, highlighting family, love, social pressures, work ethics,
loss, trauma, political perspectives, and spiritual reflection.
These themes are woven together to
chronicle one woman’s journey from a young age to adulthood, accepting her
strength and purpose through courage and perseverance amid tragedy and
self-discovery. While some of these works are inspired by personal experiences,
many are driven by imagination.
It is an empowering book written to
inspire hope, prompt introspection, and the idea of a promising tomorrow.
