Remembering Sharon Leslie Morgan
January 30, 1951 – February 24, 2026

| The Washington Post called this book "Chilling." The New York Times called it "Prophetic." I found it to be both of these things but mostly terrifying. The Circle was published in 2013, a few years before Donald Trump was first elected president. Bef ...more | |

| I can't recall reading a novel that I enjoyed so much while feeling so disconnected from the actions and thoughts of the main protagonist. Eleanor Oliphant is definitely NOT fine. She's a mess as a result of some of the worst childhood trauma I could ...more | |

“Today's youth cannot escape the shadow of racism that has been passed down organically from parents and others who cling to a distorted image of American history, one informed by, and articulated from, a worldview permeated by white privilege.
