Toning the Sweep Book

All your life has you ever read or seen a book that you can relate to in some way, for instance a book that's eye popping and caught all your attention when you seen it. That's what had happened when I saw the book Toning the Sweep by Angela Johnson, the rich colorful book cover that explained so much about the book and how much daring it would be to read.

Everyone in their life they've have been attached to and have a strong connection with someone whether it's a friend or family. Family is a big theme throughout the story: one of the main protagonists in story was Ola the mother/grandmother, had lost her husband (he had died from a shooting after buying a new car in 1964) Ola had then left the house they owned together moved to the desert. Three years later their daughter Diane had moved away to Cleveland, Ohio: she then had a daughter named Emily who is currently 14 at the time. Ola had been diagnosed with cancer in which she didn't want any medications she just wanted to die gracefully without any medical care: cause of that Diane didn't like it caused her to be emotional and didn't want to cope with the fact that her Ola was doing that. Reason for me saying that because I can relate to the story in some ways, I love this book so much because it shows and explains a lot about the three females in how they interact with each other: they were there for Ola when she needed them most it shows that family is family no matter what. Though families have their ups and downs they always get past it and make up for the lost time and that's what the family did in the story.
