Story4.5 out of 5 stars 103
Farah Jasmine Griffin’s beloved father died when she was nine, bequeathing her an unparalleled inheritance in closets full of remarkable books and other records of Black genius. In Read Until You Understand - a line from a note he wrote to her - she shares a lifetime of discoveries: the ideas that framed the US Constitution and that inspired Malcolm X’s fervent speeches, the soulful music of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, the daring literature of Phillis Wheatley and Toni Morrison, the artistry of Romare Bearden, and many others.

Racquel and Marcella are sisters with very little in common, except that each wants what the other has. Racquel has a beautiful house, a fulfilling career and a loving husband. But driven by her desperate longing for a child, she is alienating her husband and family. Marcella is a single mom, trying to support her two children with a low paying job, food stamps, and occasional child support from a deadbeat ex-husband. She won't allow anyone to interfere with her dream for a better lifestyle, not even her own children.

Great READ
I love to read and this book didn't disappoint. I also purchased the hard copy along with the audio and was glad I did. The person narrating didn't sound convincing when it came to the characters. The story was good but left out some things or maybe the author left it open for a part 2. I would recommend

Gripping and selaclous
The characters begin unassuming but end up bold and brazen. Very entertaining. Wait for it

Not a Christian Book
The storyline was fair and predictable. I purchased this book under the category of "Christian Fiction." After listening to the book, the crushing was definitely not Christian! The ending was as expected, no suspense or praises!!
