First things first. The roller-coaster ride. One Blood is a thrill ride that really takes you for loops. Then the ride’s conductor, Qwantu Amaru, does something interesting. He throws the ride into reverse. No. He takes the reader back in time and he does so without regard for whiplash. There is no time to take a breath with this book. And so the reader zig-zags from the past to the present; however, continuity is not lost in any way. Kudos to Mr. Amaru!
Now the sour grapes.
In One Blood Mr. Amaru writes
about family curses which are very real if they are believed. The curse of Melinda Weeps is kept alive
because of belief and in like manner many a family curse survives generations
because family members allow them to.
But just because the father eats a sour grape doesn’t mean that the son’s
teeth should be set on edge. Curses can
be overcome if you believe.
So I enjoyed the fact that Mr. Amaru entertained the
reader. But I thoroughly enjoyed the
lesson. The curse can end when you end it.
You are in charge of your destiny and nothing your father did or didn’t
do can interfere with your destiny. Once
you realize that, you are empowered to make generational changes. You are
empowered to sweeten your life.
