Attention Book Groups!
More than 20 groups read and discussed
COLORS OF THE WHEEL and a similar number read SIGNS OF LIFE. I was happy to attend many of these,
on both coasts, for lively conversation and analysis. Always happy to join the discussion. Contact me.
"The road goes north and south, you choose which way you go." So goes a thought running throughout the new novel "Colors of the Wheel." The insightful novel captures some of the complexities of race consciousness in America. The well-written segmented character developments blend into a composite of unified reflection on nuances of race, culture and society. Something for everyone. Good discussion novel, especially for white folks. Can't speak for people of color. I've purchased a number of copies to give to friends.
