It's been a long time since I have screamed while reading a novel. But chapter 20 gutted me. And it's too late for me to drink a Coca-Cola to calm my nerves. @Dolen I am a wreck. I am going to keep reading... tomorrow. Whew, chile!

@SIWR2022 @Dolen our extraordinary Fiction Leader has students enraptured. I was just making coffee and I heard the entire class go “Ahhhhh…” #Enlightenment happens. Sea Island Writers Retreat happening NOW!!!
Y’all see this?
After ignoring years of explicit political activity by 1000s of white preachers pushing @GOP candidates across the USA, @nytimes now mysteriously questions legality of "Black pastors" expressing doubts about morality of @HerschelWalker. Astonishing.
