“Everyone has a gift for something, even if it is the gift of being a good friend.“

Use this book to discuss segregation, resilience, and the arts. Encourage students to explore how music can be a powerful voice for change.

This story shares the life of Marian Anderson, an African American singer who broke racial barriers and sang at the Lincoln Memorial.

This is a bail for me, simply because of her voice; I pretty much only do audiobooks, and O'Connor's reading voice is just too much of a grating drone. I'm disappointed, because she's someone I've admired for a long time, and the book deals with key issues re Christianity (I was in university when she tore up the Pope's picture on SNL) and family abuse, mental health/trauma, abuse, and religious conversion.

I haven't read anything the past few days, and this is why. I adore this woman with my whole heart, and I got to spend the weekend with my guy in DC and cap it off with amazing seats to her farewell tour.

Will get back to my books and #hauntedshelf tomorrow.
