With over 80 books in our library, this year we're taking some time every week to highlight one of the books on the Eckhartz bookshelf. This week's book is "Belle" by Judy Ann Jamerson. Judy is the mother of former Chicago Bears wide receiver Rashied Davis...
Belle is the heartbreaking story of a mother struggling with the reality of the unimaginable death of her daughter. While her two living daughters desperately try holding on to what is left of their strong-willed, beautiful, vibrant mother. Belle takes us on this family’s journey of gathering, grief, and get-back! Through tears and laughter, the story of Belle unravels how some atrocities can unrecognizably alter the shape of an individual’s life.
“I couldn’t put down Judy Jamerson’s book. I read it in one day. It is a tragic story about the worst kind of human suffering, that of a (single) mother losing a child to murder. You will cry and you will laugh, as you get to know Belle, and I am certain you will enjoy it just as I did.”
