Fourmile | Watt Key

The #MiddleGradeMonday prompt this week was to share books with a number in the title. I completely forgot to check my shelf then, but today I found these.

I tagged Fourmile as it and other books by Watt Key are often well liked by some of my more reluctant readers and also not as well known as I think they should be.

Karisimo Wow! So many! Thanks for sharing! 4mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, I loved this. On the edge on my seat and finished it in two days.

It‘s about a newly graduated Black nurse in Alabama working at a family planning clinic in 1973, shortly after the uncovering of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. She fiercely fights for her patients, including a pair of young girls, ages 11 and 13. This novel jumps through time between 1973 and 2016 where she reflects on their case.

Highly recommended.

I was so emotionally invested in this story. Although the characters are fictional, the government sponsored sterilization of poor, black, and sometimes mentally-challenged young girls is a disturbing piece of not-so-distant American history that should be documented and understood.

marleed @TheAromaofBooks I can‘t believe I finished both my BookSpin and DoubleSpin in less than a week. And fun tidbit - both these physical books were LFL finds from 2023! 12mo
marleed @CBee Oh for me too! It was a different story than I was expecting expecting. I think the gorgeous cover had me thinking the time period was much earlier than it was. …@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - I think you are going to love this! Do you have a physical copy? If not, I‘ll send you mine. 12mo
marleed @Alwaybeenaloverofbooks Hey Misty, I don‘t think my tag for you worked in the previous comment! 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Nice!!! It's always extra fun to get LFL gems!! 12mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @marleed I do!! Thank you so much though! Did the package I sent make it to you? ❤️❤️ 12mo
marleed @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks yes, it arrived early Friday just minutes after I finished a book so I started it immediately. I‘m almost to the epilogue. If I finish it, I‘ll post tomorrow. You are beyond wonderful! 12mo

Such a great read about unlikely friendships and second chances. This author, Sean Dietrich, is known as “Sean of the South”, because he writes stories that capture the essence of Southern life and the human spirit. And he definitely does with this one. I loved reading the “note from the author” in the back just as much as I loved this story.

Emotionally difficult read, but an important story based in fact surrounding terrible practices by government medical programs in “helping” poor black women in the south in the 1970s. Investigations that came from this case expanded victims to include women of Latin descent. The authors note includes examples of this practice still happening today.
