"HEARTFELT BOOK" THIS IS A BOOK ALL PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS CAN READ AND ENJOY READING. THIS BOOK HAS ALOT OF MEANING THAT WE NEED IN LIFE TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE.
"THIS TIME TOMORROW " This book is indeed one the most emotional and heartfelt books I have ever read... This book sheds new light on Slavery in America. The pages of this book should be interpreted on to the Big Screen. As one reads the story, the pain, the hardship, and the strength of John Henry and other characters comes to life. I am truly honored to recommend this book to fellow readers of all ethnic groups. Edrek L. Jackson
