Finding Amos by Bernice L. McFadden, J.D. Mason, ReShonda Tate Billingsley
3.0
AMOS is the story of a musician who finds that he is alone and battling Alzheimer’s disease. He reached out to his three daughters, Cass, Toya and Tomiko, not really knowing their reactions. Amos was never a good father to any of his daughters, having abandoned them all for his musical career. Although Cass is not his biological child, he reaches out to her first because he felt the closest to her. She then contacts her other sisters inform them of his condition. The reunion leads them down the path of reconciliation and healing.
JD Mason, ReShonda Tate Billingsley and Bernice McFadden are powerful authors in their own right; yet this collaboration fell short of my expectations. The writing was seamless between the three and very well written. It just failed to grasp me in my core and engage me the way that I know these authors can. Also, the book seemed to lack closure at the end but did not lend itself to having a sequel.
