The attention-grabbing book "Deceptive Calm" by Skipper transports us to 1960 and demonstrates the barbaric treatment of Black people at that time. Love and relationships, social justice, civil rights, race relations, and other topics were expertly addressed by the author. I'm glad Vanessa, the main character, had a friend named Trisha who was devoted to her and bravely supported her through all of life's ups and downs.
By telling such a moving tale and inspiring people to end such a terrible tradition of discrimination, the author truly deserves praise. The story reminded me of a quote by Martin Luther King, " I look to a day when people will not be judge by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character".the book is truely a Masterpiece.
