Review:
"An Autobiography" by Lakiesha Carr

My Sentiments:

''An Autobiography of Skin" was a delightful story of three short stories set in Texas, about Nettie during the civil rights movement,... her life; then on to Maya's story was of motherhood, postpartum, and depression, with the last story, was a little out there as it focused on reading minds and fighting ghosts. However, the three stories were of '3 black women in the south who faced various struggles in their life that dealt with 'Black women whose lives were haunted, not happy stories, dealing with families, Black killings, religions, drugs, alcohol, relationships with men, their connections, friendship, love sorrow, joy, and family.' It was interesting how well this author was about putting these three stunning stories together.

Be ready for a thought-provoking read that will give one much to think about long after the read.
