I'm back and getting caught up! Yayyyyy! August we tackled An American Marriage by Tayari Jones as our main reading list selection. She relates an important story that is all too true for many black families in America. While my posted review focuses on Roy, Celestial, and Andre, I chose to focus on Roy in this podcast. Why? Our BLACK MEN need uplifting and Roy's story does just that. So tune in! As Always, #HappyListening --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wftsbookclub/support

For the month of June I selected several books with Juneteenth in mind. Barracoon provides a rare firsthand account of one of the last slaves to come to America on the Middle Passage trip.

This book relates his experience through it all and I relate how this experience spoke to my soul.  #HappyListening!! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wftsbookclub/support
