Book #38 of 2023. God Help the Child by Toni Morrison.
This is the story of Bride, a dark-skinned beauty. Bride was rejected by her fair-skinned mother, Sweetness, until she told a lie. The lie haunts Bride and she tries to make amends. Her failure leads her down a path of loss and self-discovery.
I adore Ms. Morrison’s writing. This story was so intriguing that I could not put it down. As if there was any doubt, this story showed that it really, really matters what we do to children because they never forget.
4.75/5
