pickAn engrossing read that provides more insights into the horror that was slavery while simultaneously generating hope in humanity. Excellent.
I am completely hooked. I‘ll definitely reading this one straight through. This brilliance shows up already at page 8. Had to go back and experience it again.
pickThis is a wonderfully told story. A gifted healer shares her story of slavery with a troubled girl who she is caring for. Filled with beautiful metaphors and symbolism.
pickI loved this book - with all the heartache, anger, unrest and bittersweet joy it inspired. There is rich history involving childbirth rituals on the plantation and the midwives roles. In the audio version the author included his interview with a 90 year old midwife who shared about her struggles and triumphs in the role. This was absolutely my favorite part - bringing me to both laughter and tears!
pickThis was the most surprising read of 2016 for me. It's a slave narrative that resembles no other that I've read. The story will grip you and the characters are so developed that they jump off the page. It's obvious that Jonathan Odell was preoccupied by the authenticity of this story, which I gravely appreciated.#readsoullit #thehealing #jonathanodell
It's 2:30pm where I am and 94 degrees☀️Here is my book + drink...a nice refreshing watermelon wine cooler🍉🍾🍹Happy Tuesday to all #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept
After a rocky start, the blue skies and sunny warm weather helped to lure me into this compelling story. I'm about 100 pages in and completely invested. The story weaves between three women, all slaves and all possess the gift of healing. Strong writing and good character development #biblioweekend
Trying to start this for book club but I can't seem to commit, so I have my backup ready to go! #biblioweekend
Looking for some book recommendations to suggest to my book club. We are an interesting mix of ladies, all expats ranging in age from 35 - 55. We read all genres only requirement is that books are available as an EBook and in paperback format. Would really appreciate the fabulous Litsy community's eclectic taste and brain power❣The Healing by Jonathan Odell is our September selection.
