Book Reviews of One More River to Cross: Black & Gay in America

Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 4 Stars

Intelligent, inspiring and insightful are just 3 of the great "I" words that describe "One More River To Cross." Never before has a book dealt with the issues of being part of multiple minority groups in such an honest way. The combination of politics and a peak into Boykins personal life really make this book hard to put down. Not everyone will be able to relate and or agree directly to every point made in this book, even if they're exactly part of the subject matter. Even with that obstacle the highs and lows of life for a specific group of Americans (whom to often go unnoticed and unacknowledged)are still brought to the surface and told in a way that will enlighten all. A must read for anyone who is supposedly a "minority."
