Review: Good Reasonable People: The Psychology Behind America's Dangerous Divide

Good Reasonable People: The Psychology Behind America's Dangerous Divide by Keith Payne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This covers the divide in the US that has split families/friends. It's amazing how many people believe fake news (ie immigrants are evil, the Democrats are pedophiles, etc). Not surprising that a lot of this comes down to the education one gets during their schooling. If one goes on to higher education (or some sort of secondary education) they are less susceptible to false information.

Review: Dreaming in Cuban

Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina García
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This follows 3 generations of women (Celia- the matriarch, her daughters Lourdes and Felicia, and granddaughter Pilar). Well written, but hard to follow a times due to shifting point of view, time, and location. This deals with difficult topics; depression, rape, abuse.
I'm trying to make a point of reading some challenged books each year. This is one such book.
