She is a folk hero from another time for so many, yet she continues to make an impact on society today.<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580552318903733616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-49132995181934840612017-04-26T08:03:49.344-04:002017-04-26T08:03:49.344-04:00I hope you get a chance to read it, Elena.

That was my first nonfiction true crime book, and I found I really enjoyed doing the research. This book about Assata Shakur was a challenge to write on so many levels, but she is such an interesting person.

The State of New Jersey and the federal government are determined to extradite her back to the United States. And with the $2 million bounty on her head, plots seem to be formed daily on how to capture her. It is such an amazing story.

This is a story of a complex woman living during complex times. What is amazing is that even after all this time, she continues to have literally thousands of supporters from around the world. Even though she has all but disappeared from the public, her voice continues to be heard.<br /><br />As always, I appreciate your time and your thoughtful comments.<br /><br />My best,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580552318903733616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-82342852093436116432017-04-25T09:25:05.246-04:002017-04-25T09:25:05.246-04:00What an interesting read!
