Historia5 out of 5 stars 6
A raw and poignant memoir of a daughter’s journey from a difficult upbringing in rural Alabama to a fulfilling life as a wife and mother with a successful career far beyond the limitations of her upbringing, Mildred J Mills describes unimaginable highs like becoming a fashion model, beauty pageant winner, and corporate American executive, and devastating lows like the horror of gang rape as she simultaneously conveys deep love and respect for most of those who hurt her.

Power of spirit and forgiveness
Revisado: 01-14-24
Ms Mills’s writing is evocative and her story is haunting. The opening scenes in the book and the childhood in Alabama are a powerful portrayal of conditions African Americans endured in the south: crushing poverty, racism and lack of resources for betterment. All through the book the author’s indomitable spirit is inspiring both as a woman and a woman of color. We can all take lessons from Ms. Mills in standing tall, enduring and prevailing despite tremendous odds. I was deeply touched by her love and devotion to her parents. A definite read for all. Lastly, congratulations on the debut as a published author. I eagerly look forward to reading more books by this author.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 4
In the early summer of 1962 in San Francisco, three inmates escaped Alcatraz. Presumed dead, they became the most famous escapees of that inescapable island. What if they survived? On that night there was an unusual heat wave and a calm tide. Perhaps even a stroke of luck. Cincinnatus Jones, the former Frank Lee Morris, is a man reborn. He finds shelter in a deserted cabin in the Oakland Hills. Among the Redwoods in a primordial forest, Cincinnatus finds an unfamiliar yet soothing solace while remaining alert, as he is still a fugitive.

What a wonderful story. Magical, imaginative and grounded in the beauty of life.

Ms. Lagarenne surely knows how to spin a fine, magical tale. She had me wishing it was all true. I am getting the book so I can read this most excellent artwork in print. She also has me wishing for the Redwoods and Oakland and Berkeley; perhaps even a trip to Alcatraz? I won’t go as far as pouring myself drinks but Ms. Lagarenne has definitely whetted my appetite for coffee, good food and loving. Ms LaGarenne’s protagonist had me wishing I knew him for real. Listening to his inner voice through Joshua Macrae was also very believable and a true delight.
Keep writing Ms. Lagarenne. I eagerly await your next book.
