I knew this author was something special after reading her first book, but this one is even better.
An in-depth interesting look at the relationship between religious belief and science and how they are not mutually exclusive.
It’s also an exploration of the effects of racism on mental health, and how the trauma of experiencing racism affects different people in different ways.
Also it has a pretty cover so there’s that too - read it!!
