I am a mountain
A beautiful multi-layered novel that addresses the experiences of black immigrants; attaining the good life isn’t always easy.
It's a story that reminds us of the hope that still lives within, and around us. Often times, we just need to remember where we came from and what propelled us to take the journey in the first place.
This was a very intimate experience for me. As an immigrant myself, I was able to relate to Fabiola's need to find her footing in a new world.
I realize that everyone is climbing their own mountain here in America. They are all tall and mighty and they live in the hearts and everyday lives of the people.
We're all trying to find une belle vie - a good life. We're all trying to find our way. And we will!
