Very Different

Berniece is one of my favorite authors but this one did not grab my attention. She is a very talented writer and is very inspirational because she covers so many topics without fanfare. This one which is a hip attached to Emmett Till was interesting but somewhat disappointed because she would be so present in the story and then she would move into dreams and the return of the dead. When she talks about the reincarnation of JW, this was too much and out of reality. But, throughout this saga the spirit of Emmett always come back to show his face in Tass life. I hated the ending of this story. Of course, she acknowledged that every reader might not like this kind of mystery/truth that constantly whirl in and out of the novel.
