Brown Girl In The Ring

Olukemi Ogunyemi's memoir is descriptive and impactful.

Ogunyemi's story is not an easy read. It is difficult, heart-breaking, pain-searing, and can fill you with desolation. I didn't come out of this story with hope for a better future for non-whites. This is a survival story and yes Ogunyemi has survived, but her and her family have paid a horrendous price to do so.

I had to read Brown Girl in the Ring in chapters and sometimes one at a time. It's worth it.

I received a free copy of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
