Today‘s Prompt: YELLOW COLOR

HISTORICAL FICTION

Poignant, heartbreaking, and unfortunately true.

THE WEDDING GIFT is beautiful in the sense of how the story is told in the author's marvelous prose and flowing style, but ugly in the harshness, cruelty, and reality of the events.

Today‘s Prompt: ARROGANCE

You will hate Mr. Cornelius Allen as well as most of the male characters for their cruelty and their shallow, arrogant thinking.

I loved listening to this audiobook told from the perspective of a slave and one of her owners - they‘re both trapped by the white men in their lives, a which I always think is interesting to compare - but only one of them finds a way out.

This a is a story of black and white. This is a story of story of desires and secrets. This is a story of helplessness and triumphs. This tis a story of our pasts we need not to repeat ever again now nor in the future. This is a story of love and hatred. This is a story of sins upon sins. This is a story of redemption....

Best book I have read in a long time. Really opens your eyes to the horrors of the African American slave trade.

I loved seeing everyone's #yellowcovers yesterday. Then I kept noticing that I had some around the house too. My grandson contributed his to the pic. #riotgrams 🐥🐣🐝🌼🌞⭐️🔥🌝💫🌙⚡️🌜☀️💥🌻🍋🍌🌽🧀🍯🥂🎾🎗🏵🥇🏆🚜🚕🚌🛵🚖🚡🚖🚤🚧🔑📒✏️💛🚸
