1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. very thought provokingBy Eddie BlackOur book club chose this as our selection and we were not disappointed. We had one of our best ever discussions. We all enjoyed the interviews done by the author and the unique view points of those she interviewed. The authors photography gave us additional topics to discuss. The themes throughout were relevant to all book club members regardless of age; education; or wealth. We all agreed we would recommend it to other book clubs or even to individuals seeking some introspection.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An AppreciationBy Winston J. PhillipsNuggets of wisdom everywhere that make reading this book a wonderful experience. Mine is an appreciation in these words:"And the Lord made them the same; and he made them different; and he said to them: "Go and learn to live together". And he gave the author a message for them: "Tell them to look for the LIGHT". Thanks; Karen Walrond.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
