5.0

Prof. Yellin has not only brought to life a remarkable woman whose daughter could have 'passed,' but chose not to. Yellin has brought to light, through the life of Harriet Jacobs a series of community connections from the Deep South to Boston which were created and used to help people in the most desperate of circumstances during the overcrowded wartime Federal City.

I wrote this comment:

"Reading Octavia Butler's "The evening and the morning and the night" reminds me of wistfully watching episodes of Criminal Minds as I eat, envying the members of the BAU weathering the storms of their work as though they were a family. Wishing I could be offered a job where I was needed, and only I could do the work that needed to be done.

Knowing that I belonged, that I fit. "

back on 26 July, 2013 (which was MEOW Date 7 August, 12013 H.E.) and I no longer recall why I made this comment, but I recall enjoying this book enough to mention it in my journal.

Love, Peace, and Cooperation,
