4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
From the #1 bestselling author of Too Much and Never Enough: A diagnosis of America's national trauma, and a way to heal. The Reckoning will examine Americas national trauma, rooted in our history but dramatically exacerbated by the impact of current events and the Trump administrations corrupt and immoral policies. Our failure to acknowledge this trauma, let alone root it out, has allowed it to metastasize. Whether it manifests itself in rising levels of rage and hatred, or hopelessness and apathy, the stress of living in a country we no longer recognize has affected all of us. America is suffering from PTSDa new leader alone cannot fix us. An enormous amount of healing must be done to rebuild our faith in leadership, and our hope for this nation. It starts with The Reckoning.

This is quite a conversation starter. This feels like such an important book for so many reasons. Namely, she‘s honest about the post traumatic stress we all have from both COVID and the Trump administration. She‘s honest about the risks that still face our democracy. She‘s honest about her own white privilege and how important it is for us (white people) to shut up and listen for once.

GingerAntics This was part memoir, part history, part politics, part human decency. All of it is valuable and so very important as we move forward. Our society has a trauma problem, and unless we face it, honestly discuss it, and open ourselves to other options, we will continue on the violent, angry, divided path we are on. #MaryLTrump #TheReckoning #PrideMonth #LGBTQ 2y

I‘m running out of audiobooks for pride month, but I have some paperbacks and hardcovers after this. Maybe I can find audiobooks for them at the library. Until then, I‘m finally cracking into this one. I think we all have PTSD after the Cheeto presidency.

Had to bail/abandon this book. I really couldn‘t stand the author‘s recitation of American history. There are no endnotes in the back of the book to start off with. She lists books she referred to, but any historian worth their salt, would have endnotes as to where they found exactly what they were talking about. Also there is no index. Generally speaking if you are writing such a book, you would have an index.

melissajayne I don‘t understand why this book has such a high rating on Goodreads. It reads like the history term papers I was writing 20 years ago, minus the foot/endnotes that I would cite. 3y
melissajayne She should have written something along the lines of her first book. #2021 #nonfiction #bookreview #bookstagram #politics #currentevents. Was my #bookspin book for November. (edited) 3y
TheAromaofBooks So many of the positive reviews on GR basically say “she said everything I believe, what a great book“ - but when I'm reading a book that is being used to support my beliefs, I'm even pickier about it being accurate & well-researched, so it seems weird to me how many people just go with “I agree = great book“. 3y
melissajayne @TheAromaofBooks I saw them too and they seemed very cookie cutter. I‘ve read so-called popular historical non fiction and the historians who write them always have at least 5-10 pages of endnotes and 5-10 pages for the index. Even in Ms. Trump‘s last book, there were multiple pages for the index. It‘s almost like she threw the book together at the last moment to get some cash. 3y
melissajayne @TheAromaofBooks when there are too many reviews that are 4 or 5 stars and they almost all basically say “I agree with the author in how they feel” or “It was like they were reading my mind”, I get kinda suspicious about the quality of the writing, especially if I have already I have already read a number of pages. It‘s probably that I expected a certain style from her b/c of her first book. (edited) 3y

Mary Trump (I love her), Mr Bingley, and bedtime. #catsoflitsy #nonfiction

GingerAntics I love her, too. She‘s great. I feel bad for her that she has to share a last name with that criminal. 2y
Lauredhel @GingerAntics she carries it well, though! 2y
GingerAntics @Lauredhel she really does. I love that she actually addressed lying about not being one of those Trumps n this book. 😂🤣😂 2y
