Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton

I recommend this book for adults. It is a story of survival, of overcoming hardships, of strength, and of perseverance. It ran true and was inspiring.

This book was given to me by a friend and colleague. We have yet to discuss it but I look forward to it. In the first chapter, Melton writes about her stay in a psychiatric ward. She was 17 years old. Melton has had many challenges in her life. I am ready for her to have some good luck.

Finished the book

Lately I have been disappointed in the human race. I dream of a world which everyone can live together side by side, where no one cares about race, religion, or sexual preference. I wish that we could each accept and appreciate each other's differences. This book helped me to try to see a crime from a point of view of a young African American witness. This powerful story was so very real that it could have easily been nonfiction. I highly recommend this book.
