Description

Destined to Witness: Growing Up Black in Nazi GermanyAs the son of a wealthy African father and a German mother, Hans Massaquoi lived a privileged life. When his father returned home to Liberia, Hans's mother, concerned about her son's health, stayed behind in Germany. But before the family could reunite, the Nazi Party came to power, and Hans was trapped in a country where the color of his skin made him a constant target of hostility and abuse. Living in constant fear for his safety, Hans's existence

As the son of a wealthy African father and a German mother, Hans Massaquoi lived a privileged life. When his father returned home to Liberia, Hans's mother, concerned about her son's health, stayed behind in Germany. But before the family could reunite, the Nazi Party came to power, and Hans was trapped in a country where the color of his skin made him a constant target of hostility and abuse.

Living in constant fear for his safety, Hans's existence became increasingly precarious until the end of World War II in 1945. This beautifully written, inspiring memoir chronicles the terrifying ordeals and remarkable survival of a black youth growing up in Nazi Germany.

Hans Massaquoi emigrated to the United States in the early 1950s. He served in the U.S. Army and then became a journalist for Johnson Publishing, where he was managing editor of Ebony Magazine. He was an active participant in the civil rights movement. The father of two sons, Hans lives with his wife, Katherine, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"An incredible tale ... Exceptional ... It is reviving and heartening to learn of this intrepid black child and young man who through a combination of guts, smarts, and a really good mother, manages to waltz through the darkest abyss of the 20th century and come out whistling." -- Chicago Sun Times

Cozy Omegaverse

This is the true definition of Cozy Omegaverse. LA wedding coordinator meets her pack at the location for a couple’s destination wedding. Low angst because they are scent matched high heat with heats and knots. Everything you love about this genre with very little anxiety. Simply a fun experience to read and a book I will comeback to when I’m in a slump. I simply love reading this book

Cute Omegaverse story
Format: Kindle
3.75 stars and 2 for spice. Adorable Omegaverse story about a wedding planner who has to go to a small town to plan a wedding for a movie star. While there, she meets her pack. This covers her struggles of not living there but trying to keep her relationship going with her 3 Alphas. It's a quick read and cute, so I recommend it for people who like light-hearted RH stories.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.
