Troubled Waters by Mary Annaïse Heglar

5.0

Troubled Waters is a novel that will make you laugh out loud, cry, and then laugh some more. A feel-good story that's creative and fun. You'll read about building familial bonds, memories, and legacies. Mary Heglar draws the reader's attention to the very real topic of global warming that has tragically affected the world. Corrine's passion will make you want to protest for an important cause of your own.

The story starts by letting the reader see into the life of Corrine, who is young African American woman who has a passion to save the environment. She is attending a predominately white college in Ohio that comes with its own set of struggles. This helps opens up a discussion of prejudice and racism that continues to be a serious problem today.

You will enjoy the warm and caring relationship that Corrine has with her grandmother, Cora, and Uncle Harold. The family has an unbreakable bond that will capture your heart.

Troubled Waters will make you appreciate today as tomorrow is never promised. Teaching all of us to love ourselves and our environment equally.

Thank you so much #goodreadsgiveaway and @HarperMuseBooks for the opportunity to read this amazing novel.
