Hello #SheSaid!
My book was a bit late in arriving so I‘m just at the end of chapter 1. But the Intro really has me interested to read more. Please feel free to start discussing below… I‘ll join in soon. I‘m very curious at how deep we will get into our fractured body politic… see you in the comments.

Hello #SheSaid!

pick#SheSaid #ReadAway2024 An excellent, heartbreaking book. Several times I had to stop listening to this audiobook to reduce my rage and grief at the way Black citizens have been legally murdered by the police and private citizens. Read and be educated.
