I am enjoying GREAT BLACK HOPE very much. Will you be offering an open discussion about this soon?

This is powerful the title alone carries weight, and knowing your voice is behind it makes it even more magnetic. We’ve been building a memoir project called StormSide Chronicles centered on resilience, truth, and reclaiming what was taken. Voices like yours remind us that bold storytelling still matters. Thank you for continuing to lead with depth and fire. 🙏

Started reading this on the plane. The characters are so interesting and complex. They’re likable, but flawed. I’m interested in the different ways they

contend with their privilege.

Okay, after reading more I’m seeing no one is as privileged as they seem. There’s a sheen of artifice. Excited to read more! I love the way the book is slowly revealing.

I'm on vacation this week, and finished it on the 1st, since the ebook was due. Looking forward to the discussion.

Looking forward to starting this one soon! Do you know yet what the August pick will be? I’m hoping to place a hold at the library in advance. Thanks!
