Story
When sixty-five-year-old Bindu Desai inherits a million dollars, she’s astounded—and horrified. The windfall threatens to expose a shameful mistake from her youth. On an impulse, Bindu quickly spends it on something unexpected: a condo in a posh retirement community in Florida. The impulsive decision blindsides Bindu’s daughter-in-law, Aly. At forty-seven, Aly still shares a home with Bindu even after her divorce from Bindu’s son. But maybe this change is just the push Aly needs to fight for her own dreams.

What a beautiful story! I really enjoyed listening to this book. While it had a little bit of the cheesy romcom effect, ex shot the writing in storyline was beautiful.

Rosalie Iron Wing has grown up in the woods with her father, Ray, a former science teacher who tells her stories of plants, of the stars, of the origins of the Dakhota people. Until, one morning, Ray doesn't return from checking his traps.

What a beautiful, powerful and sobering story. Native people have endured so much in this country. It so sad. Grateful to hear these stories and know a small part of their history.

I’m so inspired by dragonsky’s vulnerability, and transparency! So many people deal with anxiety and depression, and there’s so much shame around it - Shilletha’s transparency reminds us that we’re not alone. This book was beautifully written, albeit incredibly uncomfortable at times, I love how she weaves her personal story with her journey on the AT. Dragonsky is an incredible force!! 🫶🏽

Story
Jada Pinkett Smith was living what many would view as a fairy-tale of Hollywood success. But appearances can be deceiving, and as she felt more and more separated from her sense of self, emotional turmoil took hold. Sparing no detail, Worthy chronicles her life.

I will be honest and say it took me a minute to get into this memoir, but as it went on I was sucked in and so appreciative of Jada’s transparency and vulnerability. Thank for reminding us that your human, thank you for sharing your story and thank you for paving the way for so many other Black Women ❤️
