Miracle's Song by Rodney LaMarr
5.0
Don't let the book title and the gorgeous cover fool you, inside is a gripping, heart-wrenching tale about the struggles black people face every day. Miracle and her brother deal with racism and (micro)aggression on an almost daily basis fearing for their lives. Until her life is turned upside down during an incident that involves the police.
I think I about felt every emotion when reading this book. For the most part I felt an overwhelming sense of injustice, annoyance and anger about the way Miracle and her brother are treated. The racism and aggression they have to deal with, that black people have to deal with on a daily basis. Rodney touches on the current events and situations in the USA with the mistreatment of black people at the hands of the police and the justice system. Rodney has a way of keeping you aware that while the book may be a work of fiction many of the events are not.
Despite all the emotions it's a beautifully written story that will break your heart. But reading it is more than worth it.
I recommend everyone to read this book. I would even specifically like to invite white people to read this book as I believe this book will create awareness about the importance of the BLM movement.
