"This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. The characterizations were so real that I could not leave them and their issues when I put the book down. This can be an award-winning book. Karla Jay studies her history and is able to re-cre"

Broken Country
by Clare Leslie Hall (Goodreads Author) Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee in Readers' Favorite Historical Fiction, Readers' Favorite Audiobook |

“The sharpest image I hold from that day are the shiny nailheads in the wood, where someone overdone the hammering to shut the wood-slat crate they sent my brother home in. A note came attached, stiff with condolences from Mr. Mercer, the Estelle Mining owner. Other scrawled words said the company believed they’d recovered most of my brother from the explosion but warned us not to open the lid and check.”

“Life's lessons are designed that we would rise from 'The Fall' (or our failures) and be restored to our Divine nature.”
― Killing Adam: The Emasculation of Humanity
― Killing Adam: The Emasculation of Humanity
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
― Long Walk to Freedom

“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
