The title of the book “A Family of Strangers” excited me to pick this book. William Osei is a family service specialist at Bambin Adoption and Foster Agency. At the agency, there was a ten-year-old boy named Bobby. At the age of ten, Bobby has already been in twenty foster homes. His different foster parents always dropped him back at the agency and he moved from one foster home to another.

Finally, William decided to adopt him. Soon, Bobby started warming up to him. One day, William was visited by a woman named Sarah. Sarah told him her entire story of being raped and how Bobby was left at the foster agency. Read this book to know will Bobby ever get to know the truth of Sarah and his biological father.

This is a unique story. I loved every bit of it. The writing style of the author is nice. This book would warm up your heart towards foster children. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for a child to go to different foster homes. I loved William’s character the most. The title of this book is suitable according to the contents. It would be amazing to explore more books by the author in the future.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
It’s the first time that I have got my hands on a screenplay and I am impressed by the work of the authors Rob Nelson & Brian M. Wixson.

On April 29, 1863, during the American Civil War, a regiment of Confederate soldiers was charged with protecting hundreds of gold coins throughout the war as payroll for the troops. A choking black shroud prevented them from defending the fort or themselves, and all the soldiers were killed.

Every year, in the town of Southern Cross, Memorial Day is celebrated to pay respects to their hometown heroes.

This year, a tourist named Dan Cronenberg visited the town of Southern Cross for the Confederate Memorial Day celebration. The mayor requested him to tell everyone that Lt. Cronenberg was his ancestor, and he has come to honor him. While everyone was occupied with the celebrations, the black smoke rose from their tomb and started to swirl around and prevented the townspeople from moving or escaping. The regiment had come back from the dead and could be seen in the smoke. Soon, there was chaos everywhere. How would the townspeople fight back against an Undead evil bent on revenge.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“The Unknown Face: A memoir of marriage, mental illness, and the search for why” by Gregory Duncan takes readers on an emotional journey. This memoir details the lives of Greg and his wife, Rachel, in a modern college town in Virginia. Despite having his own red flags in their relationship, Greg became engaged to Rachel.

Balancing his roles as a husband, musician, and second-year teacher with a forty-minute commute, Greg found himself losing a part of his identity. The couple sought marriage therapy to address their emotional disconnect. Their therapist advised Rachel should learn to not push so hard and Greg needed to learn to respond better to those pushes. However, implementing these changes proved challenging for them. This poignant narrative explores how Rachel’s tragic suicide profoundly affected Greg.

Duncan’s raw and gripping writing highlights the importance of open communication and mental health awareness in today’s hectic world. This heart-wrenching story is a powerful reminder to prioritize our well-being and that of our loved ones. I am deeply moved by Greg’s candid sharing of his painful experience.

“The Official Black Book Black Index” penned by The Kingzman is a gripping read. In this book, the author has written about sexual experiences with different women. The women featured include the wealthy, the submissive, the sexually deviant, the sexually experienced, and the inexperienced. 

“The Mommy Returns” is a story about a woman with a big ass who works part-time at the brothel. Because of her free time, she was willing to invest her time in Daddy. The Daddy made the Mommy crave for him by withholding sex from Mommy. The Mommy was given time to prepare herself for the anal sex. Read this story to know will the Daddy let the Mommy go deep physically.

DFS versus DBKS is a story about two women DFS and DBKS. DFS once told Daddy that she is his cousin’s mama. After thinking about it, Daddy finally banged her harder but the problem was that DFS got attached and insecure for Daddy. DBKS is a woman who hasn’t sexually experienced much in her life.

I enjoyed reading other stories too. The Portal Pleaser and The Irish Emerald are also my favorites from the collection. This book is a unique read with unique stories. This book is only for adult readers with an open mind. I am grateful to the author for including a dictionary at the beginning. It was helpful. Those who are comfortable reading mature content would enjoy these stories. I was on the edge of my seat while reading this book.

How To Be A Neuro-Affirmative Parent

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: How To Be A Neuro-Affirmative Parent 📚

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“How To Be A Neuro-Affirmative Parent: The Truth About Raising A Neurodivergent Child” penned by the author Hwee Peng Tan is an intriguing read. The author makes readers aware about the definition of “neurodivergent” person. Hwee author has written this book from her own experiences of being a parent to a son who was diagnosed with autism at an early age. 

The author has highlighted the role of informal mentors and how she found them. Parents of neurodivergent children should be their role model and train their kids so the kids can live independent and fulfilled lives on their own. Hwee suggests we compare ourselves yesterday and today instead of comparing with others. 

Positive parenting can help kids to reach their full potential. Hwee is an inspiration to other parents.

This book will help neurodivergent families to spark the potential in their neurodivergent child. I strongly recommend this book to all carers with neurodivergent children. I loved the optimistic nature of the author and the way she focuses on what she has instead of complaining about things she doesn’t have. This book is an insightful read. It has many tips that would make the challenging life journey easy for everyone.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I’m an avid fan of romance novels and recently picked up Charlene Raddon’s ‘Lula Mae.’ The protagonist, Lula Mae, is a compelling character who dresses herself as a boy and hides in a baggage car. However, she was caught by the train authorities. US Marshal Gannon Calloway is alerted to her presence and their encounter begins an intriguing story.

During their conversation, Gannon learns that Lula Mae is the sister-in-law of a man he recently imprisoned. Lula Mae shares how her sister was killed by a man named Bernie, and she must protect herself. The plot becomes more adventurous as Gannon and Lula Mae team up to track down a killer.

The chemistry between Gannon and Lula Mae is captivating, and their bond develops quickly. Raddon does an excellent job with the setting, and the cover design is striking. Both Lula Mae and Gannon are fascinating characters to follow.

Charlene Raddon should definitely continue writing romance novels, and I look forward to her future works.

Blue California Sky

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Blue California Sky 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: B. L. Bruce ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Blue California Sky penned by the author B. L. Bruce is a beautiful collection of poetic prose to which many of us can relate.

‘The Morning You Left’ is about the time when the narrator’s partner left, leaving his side of the bed cold. 

‘I Feel Sorry For You’ is a prose about one sided love. When you love someone but that love isn’t reciprocated, it’s really heartbreaking and I have been there. The healing journey is long and surely isn’t easy. 

‘A Few Days Ago’ is about longing for something permanent. The narrator sees everything covered by snow and then it disappears. It reminds me how much we all crave for lasting romantic relationships.

These poetic prose are on relatable topics and you would have a great time reading them. One would realize how much our memories impact our lives and we carry the weight of them wherever we go. The language used in this book is easy to follow. I had a great time reading this collection.
