Beautiful! Emotionally Riveting! Richly crafted and superbly detailed! This book should come with a warning one that notes- You'll not be the same person you were prior to reading this work.
Asha Bromfield you have earned my undivided attention, my upmost respect, and my applause for this eloquently written and splendidly illuminated piece.
Hurricane Summer is not like anything I've ever read nor probably ever will in my lifetime.
What words can you put to the music of one's soul? To the luxurious of one's emotions? To the blended storms that never seem to end but somehow seem to be survivable?
To grow is not to stay stationary. Oh, No indeed. It's to be magnified by the microscope of injustice. To see through the waves of the rising tide. To understand that the end is truly just the beginning. To know that love is not something you can hope for but rather something that stems from within one's own self.
You cannot expect to be made full. To come complete circle. To reach the pivotal stages of maturity without this portrayal of masculine and feminine level of understanding.
The riches are the races. The beauty is more than just the land, the sea, the air, the human potential.
What we have hear is a young lady who has uncovered her courage, her fierceness, her tenacity, and her drive to succeed beyond what her parents, her boyfriend(s), her friends, her soulmates could provide.
It's a walk of faith. A leap of hope. A blessing in disguise to be fearful but not afraid.
"He is the hurricane that lives inside of me."
Yes, but he's the beacon of light that helped create the level of forgiveness and insight to go forth in peace, wisdom, and solidarity.
Surely, the family unit was made stronger because of these individuals like Tilla's father, her cousin Andre, and her inner circle of friends.
Each through their own sense of character didn't just attempt to take away but rather added fuel to her fire that allowed her to rise from her own ashes and proclaim her own glory.
Jahvan and Hassan may be speaking tongue but that hatred grows and inner light to love deeper than before and to overcome the challenges of adversity and bitterness.
The hurricane may have killed many but it lives in the memory of what was newly created and formed that central avenue for you to excel. One that's forged from those individuals who came before and advanced your standing.
I was provided this ARC by St. Martin's Press via Sarah Bonamino Publicist and I cannot thank her and the wonderful publishing team at St. Martin's Press for this extraordinary work of art.
I hope that each of you gets a chance to read and review this gem because it was truly a masterpiece crafted out of love.
Thank you to Asha Bromfield for re-awakening my senses to the world around through this one lovely piece.
