Book Description
This insightful look into a sadly prevalent side of American life is written with a descriptive flare and style that reaches into the reader's soul. If you have been exposed to this kind of childhood, you will be stirred. If it is something you have only heard about, you will be shocked by its reality. The insights regarding prejudice, that are more widely argued, are depicted so the reader feels and understands how disturbing racism is. The pages are full of masterful description as pure as the best writers. And there is humor to relieve the pain of realization of sad truths about life that we all endure. This truly is a Whisper Story. The truth hurts most of the time, it seems, humans being as flawed as we are, but our only hope for improvement comes with knowledge and acceptance of it. As this troubled tale unfolds, the shock of the next chapter is almost overwhelming in its horror and depravity. The story grows from its parts and coalesces, into a hope that some kind of reconciliation can be realized before it ends in a final awful conclusion. It does finally end with closure. But the fact that this story is true, and the author is now sane enough to write it all down, gives us hope that heredity and dangerous environments can be overcome by a strong spirit and perhaps some divine guidance. Chandler has reclaimed for all, a way of life, a way of living life and a way of expressing life that deserves to be preserved for all time.
