The quest to belong can often times lead us through painful struggles, the pangs of growth, worry, and love. It is a journey that can involve race, religion, immigration, and more. It is not an easy journey for everyone, and most people have times in their lives when belonging seems out of reach. In this new book of reflections and essays, Patrice Gopo shares her heart and lessons learned along the way in her quest to belong.
Patrice is the child of Jamaican immigrants who lived in Anchorage, Alaska. Her experiences gave her the subjects to write about, and her words bring them to life. Her essays are beautiful and captivating. Readers can feel her heart as she opens up to the "colors" of her life. This world is only a temporary home for us, but we all struggle to belong sometimes. These personal essays will open readers' eyes to the struggle that others might be facing and encourage more compassion and grace.
I recommend this book to readers of all ages and types. It is a book that will make you think and reflect. Thank you to BookLook Bloggers for my copy. This review is an honest account of my thoughts.
