Not Sure I Have the Engineering Skills for the Job, Though

This hopeful and optimistic book walks us through the mire that is the seemingly endless and widening chasm our country is experiencing regarding racial issues. She strives to help us create a dialogue and start loving conversations that will bring the two sides together, and even gives some stunning examples of when this has happened in her own experience. Latasha dispassionately examines many facets of this divide and shines a biblical light on both sides of the topic. She is eloquent, she is wise, she is measured and thorough. But she also pulls no punches. A great book and lots of food for thought.

Raw and Powerful

This little book is beautifully written and will draw you in despite its bleak theme. Every tunnel has its light, though, and the protagonist (and author?) find it in the end. Captivating.

Like a Double Negative

You'll scarf this one down in one sitting, so plan properly--much better for a plane or a beach than an attempted covert jury-duty read. As the story unfolds, there are twists, turns and double-backs, until the very end. Sure, there are a couple of reality check moments, but we have to give the author a little leeway in the interest of entertainment, right? Captivating, fun, and an easy psychological mind-bender. I can't believe this is her first book.
