Bailey, a beautiful African American teenager grew up in Brooklyn NY's Red Hook projects in the mid 1960's and had more than her share of hurdles to leap over. Her mother was admitted into an insane asylum because of her inability to get over the guilt of a childhood incident. Her world was shattered when she received a call from the asylum notifying her of her mother's death. The suspicious circumstances were vague and sadly she was never provided with a valid reason. Bailey later personally experienced some of the asylum's underhanded dealings. Other tragedies befall Bailey that causes her to lose touch with her best friend and eventually with her own daughter. Bailey normally confronted her dilemmas and moved beyond them but plagued by depression, her mental state started to decline and she ended up in an insane asylum not knowing whether or not she would ever leave the place alive and see loved ones again. This emotionally overwhelming novel chronicles Bailey's challenges which includes heartbreak and homelessness. Is she strong enough to ultimately overcome any obstacle that stands in her way? Does she ever get out of the insane asylum and reconnect with lost ties from her past?

I was involved in a project called Start> Becoming a Good Samaritan. As the author of the book and curriculum, I had the honor and privilege of working with some of today’s foremost Christian thinkers, authors, and pastors on the subject of what it takes to live out your faith as a modern day Good Samaritan. Imagine spending time with Philip Yancey, Chuck Colson, Desmond Tutu, John Ortberg, Eugene Peterson, Joni Eareckson Tada, Rich Stearns, and Kay Warren—just to name a few—talking about practical, real ways to live like a Good Samaritan. It was insightful, instructive and inspiring. But most of all it was approachable and real! What does my experience working with these very prominent Christians have to do with writing the forward for Jim’s book? I’ll use those words again—“approachable and real…” —Michael Seaton; Author—Start> Becoming a Good Samaritan (excerpt from foreword)

I’ve often wondered about that, how kids can turn into monsters, how they can learn that killing is right and oppression is just, how in one single generation the world can change on its axis into a place that is unrecognizable.

These days my country consists of states united in hate. At its helm is a man-child. A bully consumed by power, lacking intellect, as well as being morally and ethically deficient. So while the premise of Vox is extreme it doesn’t seem far-fetched. The severe subjugation of women by the angry, white, extremist Christian patriarchy is portrayed at its most monstrous. A counter worn by women allows them to speak when spoken to and then only minimally. Once the allotted one hundred words per day ar...more

This novel depicts a chilling dystopia, or as Mike Pence might call it: a visionary blue print for America. Women are limited to speaking only 100 words per day and “immoral” behavior results in hard labor concentration camps. The author does a great job of setting up the world with thinly veiled references to our current political climate. There is a clear message to receive: if you don’t speak out, someday someone will take away your voice. Either figuratively or literally.

Ah damn. I had such high hopes for this one. The premise/hook is fantastic, and with the second season of The Handmaid's Tale starting at the end of this month it's going to be so easy for marketers to draw parallels to Atwood's classic feminist masterpiece. But Vox *is not* that book. There's some good ideas contained therein, but none of them are really developed, and a lot of the themes just seem too heavy-handed and on the nose.

VOX by Christina Dalcher is the book you read then sit back after and think just imagine.
I ran through many feelings when reading the first being blood boiling anger whilst shouting ' bloody men who do they think they are ' to slap every women , teenager and child ( girls only) with a wrist counter which only aloud you a 100 words a day , if you go over they just zap you will a 1000% volts of electricity ' ? also a little sadness with the difficulty to communicate with loved ones ( how were they...more

A copycat of The Handmaid's Tale in many ways - and in what sort of modern society exactly would this type of scenario actually unfold?
Not to distract too much from the book itself, but decades ago women and men alike were fighting for the rights of women. The right to vote, the right to safe and legal abortions, the right to equal pay. We've come a long way. Women fill our courtrooms, our emergency wards, our research facilities, working in high-powered careers and having the choice to decide w...more

I'm very upset about all the people who read this book and walked away thinking, 'Not all Christians! Not all men!'
