Angela Miller | 1 comments Hi Fellow Bibliophiles,

My name is Angela and I recently read a self-published book titled, Born This Way. While I found the book on my own, it was surprisingly realistic based on personal experiences I’ve heard about in the South and the writing was clean and engaging.

I reached out to the author after reading it just to share my thoughts. She was incredibly kind and even mailed me a bookmark. I just wanted to shout her out as she shared her love for the LGBT community with me and felt the need to write something that revealed how hard it can be to be your true self in certain families and environments. She also said she’s always seeking reviews, and gifts ebooks through Amazon to interested readers.

If you are interested in reading a tragic, super dark, perfectly written short book, definitely reach out to this author (Tammy Ferebee). The book is about half the size of a novel. I read it in a day and haven’t forgotten Joseph since. The story is sad, but it’s powerful and makes you think. I contacted her through her site www.tammyferebee.com and she responded the same day.

P.S- If you’ve read this book and have read others similar to it, please share your recommendations with me. Also, have recently read any not so well known diverse books that you feel the world should know about?

Delores Friedman | 9 comments Thanks for being vocal in your shout out and reaching out to the author. We authors write to be read and enjoyed. Glad you posted. It's hard to be found as an Indie author, so cudos to you for makining some noise about your love for this book. Delores Lowe Friedman

Angela - this sounded like a good read so for the heck of it I checked Amazon and found it available for my Kindle for $1.99! Bought it, looking forward to reading it. Thank you for the recommendation! And I'll try to make a practice of contacting authors about the books I like from now on.
