This book was read by Courtney Bippley who is a Reference Librarian at the Main Campus Library. Why did you choose to read this book? A friend recommended this book to me and I trust her judgement. Also, I’d been meaning to read a book by this author for a while. She's well known for being an award winning, female, African American scifi/fantasy writer.
