An American marriage tells the story of a middle class African-American couple, Roy and Celestial whose lives are torn apart when Roy is wrongfully convicted for a crime he did not commit. His wife believes he is innocent but the question remains this; is this believe enough to keep the fire burning in  their marriage? This story is also wrapped by racial injustice. This book is captivating, I love how the author captures each emotions, both relationship and personal emotions, how the characters deal with situations and how they react to each other. An American Marriage is a good book but reading it, I already figured out the end half way through. There is not much suspense. From the beginning, I knew this was not a relationship that could withstand anything. Roy’s attitude before the incarceration gave that away. Once thing I really liked about this boo...

I never understood what this statement meant until I began to understand. It's like manipulation with consent. Interesting. Growing up, I always wondered what it felt like to be in my parents shoes, always having to worry about what we would eat, our school fees, rents etc. I didn’t want to have kids because having children is a decision that comes with the responsibilities I was not willing to take. I did have kids, I had a child, she was beautiful, she was an angel but she was gone before the sun rose. It was tragic. I was heart broken, something I never thought I was capable of feeling. It went on for days, weeks and even m...
