Hey! How has the new year been? Pretty awesome, right? And I thought of what better way to start this year than with a book review. I got to read this book, last year after I read someoneโs commentary on the book of Esther which spurred me to look for other stories or commentary about women in the bible. While I was searching for another book, I stumbled on a work of fiction by Francine Rivers(FR), โThe Lineage Of Graceโ . She did a retelling of this story based on biblical accounts but filling in the outline of those stories with dialogue and helping us take a step back in time and to understand the culture and environment these women find themselves in and how they ended up being the only women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus. Unveiled: The story of Tamar (Genesis 37:1-38:30). She started the story by giving us a backstory of Judah. Tamar was a Canaanite married to Judahโs son, Er. She was faithful in service to her new family, to the point of embracing t...
Hello beautiful humans! First of all, I'm so excited and honoured to be part of this! I'm grateful to my very good friend Seyi (xoxo!) for giving me this amazing opportunity to share my thoughts, experience and memories with you guys (except my deep darkest ones lol). My name's Adaobi Chinenye and I go by Aeon (the nickname that nobody really calls me) and I'm still a student.

You are my best mistake to date, but with mistakes, you learn to live with them because there is no way you can take them back. And there are days I wish I could take it back. I wish I could say I can't remember the last time we talked to each other, but I can. I remember the conversation that ended everything between us. I remember being empty after and finally accepting that this is the last road in loving you. Sometimes my mind wanders to the times we spent together and to other conversations we had. My mind lingers around the laughter and smiles we shared. Slowly, I am letting myself forget all the bad times we had, letting go of the hurt and pain and allowing myself to be. I am ashamed to say that I bask in the remembrance of the good days and the good time we had, and I always whisper a thank you for the happiest year of my life. Loving you was good to me. It helped me become a child again. It en...
