shan88 's review for:
Walking with Miss Millie
by Tamara Bundy
DID NOT FINISH: 27%
I should have done prior research, but now that I have I cant read this book.
I read the quick blog post the white author wrote about the inspiration behind this book, and just no. As soon as I saw her say about her teaching job
" wonderfully diverse high school " and then to go on and say how she was told too late that its not cool to write outside your race, she was too in love with the character to stop. And then adds a picture of her hugging her nephews which she says "three beautiful African American boys"
There was more in that blog that I just can't deal with her white savior energy.
There is books by BIPOC Authors who I would much rather read from and support than this.
**in my opinion **
