5✨ James was a powerful book. At such a time in history, it is important not to forget that we are not far removed from the times depicted in this book. A retelling of Huckleberry Finn, it offered a few laughs and many tears. It took me a week to read because it’s a difficult read—raw and direct. I highly recommend it to everyone. After reading it, think about the direction you want this country to take, because we could very easily slip backward..."
