I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat cheering on the story as if it was happening live in front of me. I cried because I didn't know. I didn't know what Black America has had to live with and still live with. You couldn't have dreamed up a better antagonist than Senator Robert Byrd. Sadly we are still surrounded by his legacy. This book is a once-in-a-lifetime read. It will be a bookmark in your reading history, leaving a lasting impression. You will be a better person for having read this book.
