I read your review of this book and immediately put it on my wish list, and after reading the author's thoughts I think I want to read it even more.

The way to embrace our differences is to acknowledge them and try to understand them. We, as a whole, not just the U.S., need to try to accept each other for the people we are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-63029591634685697202010-03-03T16:06:13.154-05:002010-03-03T16:06:13.154-05:00What a great interview.

She said after her book 'Purple Hibiscus' came out, she attended a seminar and one of the participant told her that she is sorry to hear that husbands in Africa are women & child abusers. She said she had by the read 'American Psycho' and so replied the lady that she is also sorry to know that all teenagers in America are serial killers.<br /><br />Most at times we form stories about people based on the single thing we have seen.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.com
