Dear Martin

My educator daughter Camille recommended that I read Dear Martin by Nic Stone. In the midst of the social justice crisis our country in currently experiencing . . . again, it is extremely important for those of us with privilege because of our skin color to read widely and deeply on the topic. 

While I really, really, really love the subject matter of this book, I really, really, really don’t love the writing style. 

It is a very quick read, and while it delves into the inner thoughts of the main character, it really only addresses the issues of race on a surface level.

Side note: I LOVE that I have two daughters who recommend books for me to read. 😍
