Brown Girl Dreaming JJ #2

 When I opened up this book, I wasn't sure what I was going to find. I can say that was surprised. Surprised to find that the book was written in verses, to also seeing how the book took us on a journey of one person's life that I feel like every one can find something to relate to.

Someone who understood, the struggles, and frustration the wonder and fear of life in this world. Her words spoke volumes that would sometimes fall upon deaf ears, but not mine. Her words gave me solace and understanding Brown to brown  Girl to girl Dreamer to dreamer.
