Untethered

Untethered. This was a new word to add to my dictionary. Before reading the book, I quickly looked up the definition. After finishing the book I did a deeper research on the word Untethered. What finally stood out to me was FREE. As I think back, there was alot of people that became free from being bound or tethered in so many ways. I could go down the list. And I know that the focus was more on the ED of the group home. But it really made me go back to the person that gave me the most emotions. Chad. No spoilers here. But I could say that Chad was finally freed. The brother Aaron freed. Even mama with her young buck was freed. PeeWee with family was freed. Not bound. Not confined. Not Restricted. This book reminded me that there are many things that I need to be Untethered from and go live my life to the fullest! As God planned just for me. Jeremiah 29:11 Great Job Angela Jackson-Brown!

🎧 Audiobook Review Untethered by Angela Jackson-Brown Pub Date: 12/3/2024 This was my first read by rhe author and it will not be my last. Captivating, emotional and devastating are just a few of rhe emotions I felt reading this historical fiction novel. Set in the racist South in the 1960's Katia a single African-American woman is trying to find her place in this hectic cruel world. She runs a boys home for black boys who mostly nobody wants, yet she wants them to feel loved and cared for. She wants love but is too scared to want it since she can't have children of her own. Katia also has twin brothers that went to fight in the Vietnam War with only one returning home broken. But through it all this story shows a strong Katia trying to overcome all the roadblocks coming at her, her family and protecting her boys all at the same time. In true fashion, caring the weight of the world on her shoulders. The audiobook narration was amazing, the narrator was able to bring each character to life all while making the story feel incredibly intimate. I cannot recommend Untethered enough. The was such a poignant, beautiful read that told a story that needed to be told. Thank you to Angela Jackson-Brown, and NetGalley for providing the ALC.
