This weekend, I finished the book "The Woman in the Window". It was great and they're turning it into a movie. With that said, I knew it was time to read something to help educate myself. It is my job to educate myself. I grew up in a very white community in southern Indiana. I am just truly understanding my privilege as a white woman. I saw suggestions all over for book recommendations, and I wanted to share those with you. I also found some children's books. I hope you'll take time to read these or read them to your children or listen. I am sure I will miss some great ones, so please comment those in the comment section if you have recommendations.
