The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks about Race by Jesmyn Ward
5.0
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but you read.”
It’s a story of trials, loss, pain, and suffering. It’s a story of strength, redemption, and revolution. Wow, this book is definitely a must read for young adults or anyone really, those of us who find ourselves attempting to navigate this political world. I very rarely write book reviews, but this one warranted something. It is a great reminder of the power of individual narratives and seemed to chronicle my thoughts, experiences, and opinions, as I navigated the killings of our unarmed black boys and girls, the rise of our first Black President and more. As we move forward, this book is an empowering reminder of where we have been, where we are going, and where we can be.
