Toni Morrison, Beloved


Still processing this a bit, the horror of what slavery does to the human psyche is something so beyond my experience it's difficult to digest. To murder your own child so they wouldn't have to endure life on the plantation - how horrifying. A book to recommend.
How do  I segue from that to our holiday in just over a week? I'm torn between some light reading or taking a great big tome that has been sitting there a while. Hmmm. In the meantime, Libby has become a fixture at cubs, despite being a year too young. I found a spare scarf and woggle, and she is now known as 'Black Six'. Daddy's Little Enforcer.
