Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12,068
Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her - but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North.

Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are simple, ordinary people until 1939, when the Nazis invade their homeland. Providing shelter to Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland is a death sentence, but Franciszka and Helena do exactly that. In their tiny home in Sokal, they hide a Jewish family in a loft above their pigsty, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift cellar under the kitchen, and a defecting German soldier in the attic - each party completely unknown to the others.

The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity - and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price.

Richard Wright's powerful and eloquent memoir of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. At once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment, Black Boy is a poignant record of struggle and endurance - a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time. The once controversial, now classic American autobiography measures the brutality and rawness of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a Black boy. Seventy-five years later, his words continue to reverberate.

I love the story it was very inspiring.
This is a great book written by my beloved member of KOGMI,Keisha Kesha Jones . Being born in the south in the early sixties causes me to remember some of the struggles my mother father sister and brothers went through. I was young and didn't really see what was going on in front of me but as I got older my older brothers made it clear of what I witnessed. My grandparents we're strong people. My grandfather was a sharecropper strong in stature and lots of character. I appreciate this book. What it does for me is remind me that no matter the circumstances I find myself. Wherever I am on the economic social scale of life I can always achieve better and do more. No man on this Earth controls my destiny no One controls how high I can go thank God for America thank God for the struggle thank God that I am not a victim. Well done Kesha Jones
