Published on : 2021 || Format : ebook || Location : Canada One line review : When Kiran runs away from home to another country, to escape her rapist, she doesn't realize how long it is going to take her to feel like herself again. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ “Passports and boarding passes, please,” drawls the blond, goateed man, towering a foot above us both. I pass him both my and Mom’s documents and attempt the smile that every person of color has mastered. The one that reads, I’m thoroughly nonthreatening. Please don’t pull me aside and racially profile me. Thoughts : I can't remember how I found this book or why I chose to read it. It was available on my library's Overdrive catalog and I'm glad I made the time to read it. If I Tell You the Truth tells the story of Kiran's arrival in Canada as a pregnant graduate student, though in reality, she was also running away from her rapist back home in India.

My last Sunday Salon was posted about three months ago. No wonder I don't remember much about what I used to post. Life's slowly getting into a routine over here - we have family staying with us right now, so it's pretty much a full house - which makes me thankful for all the extra space and rooms we have here.

These dogs, ~shaking my head~.
This past week, I found out that two of my cards had been defrauded. I was shocked to find a few unfamiliar transactions worth almost $400 on one of my credit cards plus even more surprised that a Macy's gift card had been completely used up more than seven months ago. While the transactions on the credit card have been sorted out, I'm still waiting on seeing what Macy's will do. I really hope they replace my card soon - I could use it now for some much-needed house expenses.
It's a lazy dreary Sunday out here (the kind I love) and we all just had a late breakfast of some yummy baked egg muffins. I hope to get some blogging done today and maybe some reading as well. The following week will be my last work week of the year and although we don't have any major plans yet for the holidays, it will be refreshing to stay away from work for a good ten days!
