Bøger af Janis a Pryor

Janis grew up with special gifts that her grandparents did not stifle. Imagine being able to not only be aware of a person's true intent, but what troubled them, what they needed help with.Now jump ahead several years. What was she to do when promptings she started receiving were about someone she hadn't met, the man with the wonderful hair? After asking a friend to find out some specific information to find out who the man was, Janis found out herself through a chance meeting while walking her dogs. His name was Tony. The random meetings continued, raising more questions, especially when Tony revealed he had waited twenty years to meet her. They were drawn together but remained distant, neither wanting to intrude on the other but at the same time knowing they were meant to be together.

Dinner with Trixie explores the past and the present within a slave-owning family, the enduring legacy of racism, personally, institutionally and culturally. Throughout the pages of this fictional tale, Janis Pryor invites us to consider several dynamics including how to envision addressing reparations, one family at a time; how to name the ways in which white fragility plays out from both conservative and liberal positions; the reality of racism as a mental health issue; and the way in which Christianity has colluded with and perpetuated the racial divide.It's a tale full of riches and lessons to be learned about the lives people lead, how they treat others, and the realization that first impressions are not always what they appear to be.
