sharonskinner 's review for:
Confessions of an Iyeska
by Viola Burnette
This is a thoughtful, honest reflection of the life of a woman of great strength. Reading this book made me realize that we are not separated from our ugly conqueror heritage as much as we would like to believe. And reading it now, when so much seems to be sliding backward, was an emotional journey that makes me wonder what else I can do in my life to mitigate the inhumane treatment of others in the world, and especially in this country.
Viola Burnette lived a powerful life. She dealt with many struggles to become an empowering voice and advocate.
NOTE: Not only was this book important for me to read because of the issues faced by the author, but because I knew her. I babysat her four daughters when I was a young teenager.
