Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.
This is the first book read for 2026. I came upon this book in South Central Los Angeles at a community resource fair. I was stopping at each table to see what the organizations have to offer. When I walked up to Cover the Homeless ministry table I immediately felt Ms. Rose's welcoming spirit. We spoke briefly about what Cover the Homeless does and she let me know that she founded the organization and that she also wrote a book about her life and what brought her to the point of starting this organization. I was immediately intrigued and purchased the book. She signed it for me and gave me her telephone number. That was a year ago now , I never called her but after reading her book she will be getting a phone call shortly!
Author: Rose Rios
Title: I Slept in the Lions Den
Main Characters: Mostly Rose but I would add her family too. Not naming them one by one but her Mother, Father and siblings.
Setting: The book started off in the south in Lexington, Mississippi then it moved on to Los Angeles California.
Plot: This was a story about resilience in the face of traumatic life events.
Personal Endorsement: This book triggered me and gave me a small anxiety attack. The even crazier part was that I couldn't put it down and every-time I did, I couldn't wait to pick it back up! I called my cousin and triggered him talking about the book. In my opinion Roses family definitely had a hand in her first Husband Timothy's death! My cousin felt otherwise he stated that there was things that Timothy could've done to prevent his death. I mean I can't say that he isn't right but I feel that her family's meddling was highly inappropriate and it played a part in his death. Well you'll have to read it and come up with your own conclusion.
