BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly the rules were so barbaric back then, he was just a little baby, surely it couldn‘t matter either way! 14mo

Bookwormjillk So sad 14mo

peaKnit I literally just ran across my copy of this, I read it in highschool and it made an impact. 14mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead still like that here in certain churches 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ 14mo
TheBookHippie It‘s so so cruel. I remember they used this as a scare tactic to us 😵‍💫😵‍💫 it‘s just so so sad. 14mo
Cuilin Ok this was depressing, Sorrow ful 😢 ugh Alec has a lot to answer for. 14mo
julieclair This is just so sad. And @TheBookHippie , it‘s hard to imagine that still, in our lifetime, some churches would be acting this way. I hate the thought that the church tried to scare you. 😢Churches are supposed to be a place where you can feel loved, welcomed and valued. So disappointing that some of them can get so far off track. 14mo
currentlyreadinginCO Sorrow is a perfect name for all of this! 14mo
TheBookHippie @julieclair It‘s pretty much how it is in Protestant and Catholic Churches here. There‘s a very nice Unitarian and a Presbyterian one. I was raised multifaith and definitely didn‘t pick that for a choice. My father sent me an apology when I turned 30 for sending me to parochial school-🤣😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️. It is what it is. 13mo

Waking up in uk to horrific news of the shooting at a primary school 19 babies and 2 teachers ; How can an 18year be allowed to walk into a store and purchase guns ! How can this be allowed to happen ! Surely it‘s time for a gun lobby now in the USA 🇺🇸 Enough is enough 56 senators won‘t vote on jt who refuse to do anything about it because their own desire for power is more important than the safety of citizens #heartbreaking those poorfamilies

...she is in awe of him, for he is the most beautiful man that she has ever seen, with skin so dark and creamy that looking at it could very well be the same thing as tasting it.

Ness's skin was no longer skin really, more like the ghost of her past made seeable, physical. She didn't mind the reminder.

...she would always miss the gray rock of her mother's heart. She would always associate real love with a hardness of spirit.

I have no clue why I thought it would be a good idea to read this book. But I did. It is haunting and beautiful and sad and hopeful and just wrong that this was even able to be written. Brief synopsis, a young woman is released from the Nazi concentration camps and starts traveling to find her young brother. I don‘t know how people read these books regularly.

#qpoc #blacklove #youngadultfiction #heartbreaking This is the type of book I wish was written when I was a teen. The relationship between Mable and Audre was so real. The relationships and family dynamics were real. This story is about friendship, lost, love and family. I highly recommend this book 📚 📖.
