Book: The New Frontier

Review:

The story features a black family who moved to an all-white neighborhood in the hope of a better lifestyle. However, their life became difficult when they were made to feel unwelcome. After the chaos that their new neighbors brought them, the Cole family presented evidence to the cops but the police didn't help them. 

A President like John F. Kennedy gives hope to the people that they can have a better life when the right person is at the deserving position. Grant Cole was lucky to be a part of the New Frontier but it took him some time to get the possession of his new home in Los Angeles. His son Samuel was twelve years old at that time. Seeing the behavior of his neighbors, the young boy missed his old loving neighbors. 

I haven't read many books on racism. This was a unique read to me and it widened my perspective. The story gave me a sneak peak into the life of a black family that became the victims of racism. Even though racism has reduced, it still exists. I am grateful to the author for enlightening readers on this important topic. The story is well written and the plot is engaging. Don't miss reading this book.

Growing through the Storm

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Growing through the Storm Author: Sheila Malsam Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: "Growing through the Storm" is one of the best books that I have read this year. This book teaches us to not give up too soon on God and our faith. It teaches us to hang tightly to God. This book made me believe that if things aren't happening our way in our life then they will happen in God's way when the time is right.  This book made me realize how stupid I was to not believe firmly in God. God is the answer to all our problems. He gives challenges and problems to us so that they can shape us and make us stronger. I appreciate Sheila's parents for the support they provided to her daughter. The support and love from loved ones is very important in troubled times. Even after two troubled marriages, her parents and children didn't give up on her. Loved ones should support their family members in times of need.  Sheila's sister made her realize how she wasn...

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Angel Finally Found his Wings  Author: Ronald Hunter  Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: Charlie became the self-appointed guardian of the author. Everyone believed that he was taking good care of him. However, Ronnie was on the street from eight or nine in the morning until ten at night. Ronnie was doing all this for his mother.  To keep his mother out of the hospital, he was working for Charlie. Ronnie was afraid to upset him. He was doing business even though he felt guilty initially for doing it. Charlie has taught Ronnie to never leave a block without making a deal. Charlie kept him in business for a long time. Even though Ronnie was looking for an escape, he was stuck. I loved the ending of this story. This book has increased my faith in God and his grace. This story teaches us not to lose hope in difficult times as someone out there is having a more difficult life than us.  I am thankful to the author for sharing his story with everyone. A ...

Things you know when you read 2000 books

  🌸 Title: Things you know when you read 2,000 books 🌸 Written By: Ella Yoon  🌸 Review: I love reading books. One day, when I got the opportunity to review a book, I made reading and reviewing books my profession. Reading books gives me the peace, the inner satisfaction that I wasn't getting in any other profession.  Ella Yoon's book would inspire anyone to read more and more. It was fascinating to know how the author decided to write a book instead of just consuming the work of other authors. When I read that Ella even read books while taking the subway rides or waiting, it made me laugh as I could relate well. I used to read books while walking in a park. This way, I took care of both my physical and mental health. Reading this book made me know the author and her mindset behind reading. Reading takes care of both the mind and the heart. It enlivens the heart. Through books, we can meet new people or get to know a single person in depth.  This book enlightens yo...
