Parable of the Brown Girl: The Sacred Lives of Girls of Color Paperback – February 4, 2020

Must read for everyone! i constantly found myself putting the book down to think about my own experiences as a black girl. This book gave me a new outlook on how to view my uniqueness..this book gave me a new language. Healed some scars. New perspective. I’m Holding my head higher.

This book presents the challenges and stereotypes of young women of color through their own stories. It was written for girls of color, so I am not the intended audience, but I found the book moving and informative. I’m really looking forward to Adams’ next book.

I thoroughly appreciate how the author reflects Jesus' teaching style and digs deep into the depth and depravity of racism in our culture as she shares these beautiful stories of Black girls she's counseled and mentored over the years. Highly recommend this book.

I love this book. A friend recommended this to a few colleagues and since then, I've done the same. I literally see myself in every parable!!

Love this book. I can relate on so many different levels to each of the chapters.

This book weaves together stories of young Black girls whom the author met throughout her professional life. As a Black woman, some of these stories were very familiar. I either experienced similar feelings or knew people who did.It’s hard to place a finger on exactly what type of book this is as it has literary elements, but it is also somewhat of a reference book because the author bases her explanations in sources that are cited. It is also based heavily in the Bible, which adds an additional dimension to the author’s analysis.Overall a good read and informative, particularly if you are not aware of some of the issues facing young girls of color. This books brings a lot of those issues into a single place. You really feel like you understand what the girls whose stories are told were going through. It’s amazing how difficult some young people’s lives are, especially girls of color, yet they manage to survive and push through.

Such a lovely book that is needed and worth the read.

I received this as a Christmas gift from a friend and all I can say is WOW! I have never read anything that made me feel so understood as a woman of color! Thank you Khristi for allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you. You have put words to what I have felt deep in my soul! Words to the wounds and heartaches we have lived! I cannot truly thank you enough sis!

This was a well written book as my friend it twice enjoying it so much. You won't regret it
