They say we are broken. They say this is the way life must be. They say we are incapable of change. They are wrong.
A powerful voice of clarity amongst the chaos, a witness to life, a testament to history, a positive force hurtling us towards transformation and redemption. This novel is the inception of hope, germinating the seeds of change.
As chaos reigns, mass violence presents itself at every opportunity, grief and despair are woven into the national narrative, and the Great Depression of our era is an issue of mental health more than economics, Blink If You're Woke emerges as the novel that puts into words what we are feeling as a country. Blink If You're Woke offers a surge of optimism for the soul and reignites the flame of hope within every heart.
She immigrated to America as a young child. Her father, a great believer in the American dream and its ability to light the fires of democracy, and equality around the world, shapes the idealistic eyes through which she sees America, while the reality of the life she lives is very different. American by nature if not by birth, she grows strong willed, independent, and determined to make a difference in this world. Rebelling against the notions of who and what a woman should be in society, she sets out to create her own life.
Her narrative winds through the rich details of her adventures, loves, triumphs, tragedies, all encapsulated in an obtuse spirit unwilling to bow to defeat. Her words are compassionate psalms of wisdom, power, and empathy. She offers up the reasons we exist as we do in modern day society, with a quiet assurance of the good around us and hope for the world to come.
Impossibly beautiful, immeasurably deep, Blink is a novel that will stay with you long after you leave its pages.
