4.0
Definitely something that every Christian should read.
I don't factor the audiobook performer into my star review, but I would give James Cone 5/5, which is very rare for me. He does a great job of keeping an even tone and bringing the reality of our country and religion's past to light. A great narration.

Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Bullying, Cursing, Gun violence, Miscarriage, Rape, Suicidal thoughts, Police brutality, Kidnapping, Abortion, Pregnancy, Abandonment, Alcohol, and Colonisation
I'm not sure how well I tagged everything and its severity, because this book is retelling true history and experiences of the black person in the USA at the height of lynching, racism, and violence. It's not pretty, and you will feel horrified (which is the whole point).barbarajean's review against another edition
