The Apology Written by Eve Ensler

Through this letter of unveiling; a young girl exposed to an empire of despair gains a  modicum
 of ablution
Created in the voice of her long dead father she articulates the momentous confession he should have  conveyed; not necessarily for retribution
The victim is consumed by self-loathing, mental turbulence, and grief
While the witness battles against overwhelming doubt and disbelief
That the abuser dares to rationalize the lewd & lascivious behavior
Implying he lacked control, he misinterpreted, that she was the inevitable traitor
The author, Eve, penetrates the veil of sexual and psychological trauma only intimated
That most people incorrectly conclude takes one that looks visibly evil to have orchestrated
The devastating revelation comes when she gives voice to the cacophony of deleterious effects
Culminating from emotional desertion, and unrestrained perversion that went unchecked
Her mother and siblings bared witness to her gradual physical, physiological, and spiritual degradation
The author devises an atonement of sorts from bits of recollections, conversations and broad introspection
Pulsating with posthumous clemency, self-actualization and reprimands for victim oppression and mental dejection
I found myself emotionally invested in Eve's veracious memoir; this transparent letting of humiliation and despair
Exposing the rocky landscape that millions are forced to navigate; her words, expose, cleanse, exhort, and illuminate making us all accountable, making us all aware

The Brutal Telling Written by Louise Penny

AT 503 pages you finally come to see Olivier for what he could really be The Brutal Telling A tale of priceless treasures selling A stranger found dead in Three Pines Someone will have to pay the macabre fines Meanwhile, Gamache is running out of time Going back in the past is how he will solve the crime In the Queen Charlotte Islands he must track For the wood the slain man made was found in a sack And each carving an intricate element of the pack Of precious treasures the killer wanted to take back Quite in contrast All the details were made manifest in the past And the killer was forced to act fast Because he knew his deception would not last In the end most of the town was in disbelief While others felt a measure of strained relief To get the hermit's treasure He had to go to extreme measures And in the end only resulted in eternal displeasure Written by Guest Contributor:  NaTorea Richardson Genre: Mystery/Thriller Suspense

My Besties:The Come Up written by Asia Hill

Four girls with tragic backgrounds named Ja’ziya, Tiki, ReRe, and Dirty E decide that they have to level up and get money. They began robbing local drug dealers that soon leads to bank robbery, and occasionally murder. These young, smart but misguided young lady’s take the dangerous route to success. Even in the end when their life is on the line, there isn’t much regret, just reminiscing and acceptance. I admit that all four girls still keep their head in the books and look out for each other no matter what circumstances or events occurred. The story line was very nice and well thought out.  However, I would’ve liked for the book to be a bit more detailed. Also, there were quite a few grammatical errors that were missed by the editor. Overall I still enjoyed the read, the ending was an attention grabber for sure!  Written by Guest Contributor: Chelsea Henderson Genre: Urban Fiction
