This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

Just a friendly reminder that libraries are free.
Not “free trial” free.
Not “free with ads” free.
Not “free if you give us all of your data” free.

Police really think these 3 Black sisters walked into cold freezing ocean in Brighton late at night, fully clothed in their party outfit with their black hair nicely done to get wet? Just stop. That is not a Black thing. Then got killed by misjudging steep drop? Police better fully investigate! Rest in perfect peace Jane Adetoro, Christina Walter and Rebecca Walter 🙏🏾

"A thriller that is as explosive as it is intellectual, as fast-paced and fun as it is thought-provoking. THE EXES is proof that this brilliant debut novelist is here to stay." - @Bookreporter
