HF based on the life of Charlene Willing McManis, of the Umpqua tribe in the forests of Oregon. Some ridiculous federal govt/BIA law ‘relocated‘ them to LosAngeles in the 1950s, to low rent rundown houses with postage stamp yards - told them they were no longer Indians. Charlene died of cancer before the manuscript was completed; Traci Sorrell finished it for her.

Otis Williams was the driving force behind the Temptations‘ amazing success. This is a comprehensive memoir starting from when Otis and Melvin were just kids. It was fun for me bc I grew up on Motown music🩵🎶💙

Library book. I read this 50+ years ago and I wanted to see how it felt now. I appreciated it much more this time around. The writing is beautiful. Devon reminds me of the Catholic girls‘ college I attended for 1 yr in Minnesota. Another parallel is WW2‘s presence in this book and Vietnam‘s in my story. Next up Peace Breaks Out by same author
