Book review: True Friendship is sweet by Author Dr. Christie Black-Murrell,



Most recently, Dr. Murrell released a Children’s short story focused on a poignant issue in our country, diversity, and inclusion titled, “True Friendship is Sweet.”


Looking for a way to talk to your kids about diversity??? THIS IS THE PERFECT BOOK to start the conversation! Emerson a racially sheltered six-year-old learns some valuable lessons when she meets a sweet friend Molly Ann and her not-so-friendly dad. This story is all about understanding how special we all are and how it is that diversity that makes for a "Sweet, Sweet Friendship" Great resource for counselors, teachers, and a perfect conversation starter for parents! 


This is a  story about two little girls that look different but regardless of skin color can still be friends.

There are also prompt questions and activities that parents or teachers can do at the end of the book with children. A much-needed book that can help teach children about the acceptance of people that don't look like them.


When I was a kindergarten teacher's aide I would read to the children in my class this is a book that I would have loved to read to them.



This would make a great book for any classroom and library.


My Opinion. I would like to address that racism is not just one color racism comes in all colors it's a heart matter.

my opinion. I like all people no matter their skin color is, God made each and every one of us just the way he wanted us to be let's have a good heart and stop racism. All lives matter to me and God.


I have been discriminated against because of my race in the past two years and it is painful and hurtful.  


I received a complimentary copy of this book for a review on my blog.

But was not required to leave a review.

All opinions are mine.

Interviewing Author Shannon Taylor Vannatter Q1. Tell us about yourself. What are your favorite books to read? A. I started reading clean romance when I was fourteen. I married my high school sweetheart and worked as a hairdresser for ten years. Once insurance became important, I went to work at a bank and the corporate offices of a large fragrance company. After our son was born, I became a stay at home mom. I love reading Christian Contemporary Romance. Q2. Where did the inspiration to write come from? A. There came a time when I couldn’t find anything clean anymore when I was in my early thirties, so I decided to write what I wanted to read. My characters kept praying and talking to God and I realized I was writing Christian romance instead of merely clean. It took me nine and a half years to get published. Q3. How did you come up with the titles of your books? A. I start with a working title that fits the theme of the book. Sometimes, I change it as

Interviewing Author Grahame Peace Q1. Tell me about yourself what are your favorite books to read? A. I’m 61 years of age and was born in the Northern Textile Town of Huddersfield in England where I still live with my partner. I like many genres of books, but I don’t like anything too dark; before I retired I worked for many years in Mental Health Services in the UK, so I had more than my fill of ‘life’, and the ups and downs it can throw at people. So, I tend to go for books that offer escapism, I also like history, autobiographies, and biographies. At the moment I’m enjoying the fictional book ‘The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates. I say I’m retired, but I now consider myself to be an author, I treat it as a full-time job, working on my books for several hours most days. Q2. when did you decide you were going to write a book? A. I retired from my job with the National Health Service in the UK nearly five years ago now; I’d already started my first book by th

Interview Author Gabriella Messina Q1. Tell me about yourself what are your favorite books to read?  A.  I’ve found that, as I continue to grow as a writer, I’ve grown more selective as a reader. I tend to choose books from the same genres that I write… mysteries, historical fiction, fantasy… and I gravitate back to older books more than newer. I like stories that move at a good, steady pace, almost like a well-made film; that isn’t preachy, but still, give you something to think about; and that have well-developed characters that act like real people.  Q2.when did you decide you were going to write a book? I’d been  A.writing screenplays since the early 2000s and I’d gotten some notice for them, but getting into that industry is notoriously difficult and expensive. Then I learned about the rise of indie publishing, KDP and such, and decided to try adapting the stories into novels. Q3. How did you come up with the name of your books?  A. Poetry, songs,
