pickSuch a wonderful #HF story about the 1811 Richmond Theatre Fire that killed 72 people mostly women. The story begins with the fire and then the aftermath following a handful of survivors. Ripe for bookclub discussion, I couldn‘t turn the pages quick enough. I appreciated the addition of the Author‘s Note which gave more context. This book touches on the cruelty of slavery, society struggles between men & women and preconceived idea of heroism.

I‘m really enjoying this #HF based on JPMorgan‘s personal librarian, Belle Costa de Green, a black woman passing for white in the early years of the twentieth century. Robin Miles is one of my favorite narrators. #52Books #BooksOnTheCover

pick#DualTimeLine 1973 Alabama/ 2016 Tennessee- Civil Townsend reflects back to the early days of her career as a young black nurse working at a woman‘s health clinic in rural Alabama with aspirations of serving the community. Instead she finds herself embroiled in a horrific situation. Now she‘s a retired physician who still can‘t let go of the past. This was an eye-opening read, shedding light on a topic I knew little about. #HF #BOTMbacklog
