challenging emotional informative medium-paced

5.0

Wow. . . I found Enjeti's essays to be at once confirming, enlightening, and convicting. I fist-pumped as she roared about 40-plus-year-old women growing into themselves and their rage in "Anger Like Fire;" I wept when she shared experiences of prejudice in "Southbound" and "Treatment." Throughout the essays, Enjeti weaves history and personal stories to elucidate greater truths. Overall, though, I was reminded that we all must do better by each other beginning with how we personally respond to injustice. For me, the collection is summed up by, " . . . we too must take  responsibility for our relaxed complacency and intentional obliviousness . . . I too have much to learn and a long, long way to go."
