Confessions in B-Flat by Donna Hill
5.0
4.5 Wow - this story blew me away! {Thanks to Entangled Publishing, LLC (Sideways Books) and NetGalley for this free advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.}
Heartfelt, tender, fiery, and inspirational. An amazing and powerful story of love and social activism set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s.
Anita is the spirited activist from New York following the teachings of Malcolm X, while Jason is the "do-gooder" from the south who is trying to spread the word of MLK Jr. To read the story of their upbringing, their family's histories, and the paths they choose is so inspiring. How they find their way to each other against many odds and so many differences is such a strong testament to their love.
I loved the historical aspect of this story and the interweavings of pictures, speeches, and news events from that time period. It really grounded the story, gave it a thoughtful and timely feeling, and shed light on the characters' inner struggles.
This is truly a beautiful story, filled with heartbreak, strength, purpose, laughter, and love. A must read!
