great post Heidi! I enjoyed it!
I love James Baldwin’s books. He is so earthy and raw in what he chooses to write about!
Time in your favorite box is never wasted!!! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
I haven’t read any James Baldwin books. You inspired me to, Violet
Ahh, books, Youtube, just existing in my own box. Seems this story has a lot in common with me.
