Book Excerpt:
""Hard Conversations: Book 1 Breadcrumbs to the Past" is a collection of short stories detailing the lives of five urban people who are standing at the intersection of their past and their potential. To change the trajectory of their futures, they must reconcile the long-ignored dysfunction of their past with the building aspirations of their present. These reconciliations can only begin by delving into their life experiences and having long-overdue conversations with the people who hurt them the most.
Sometimes it's the conversations not had that do the most damage to the people in our lives. Sensing that something is still off in the lives that they have built, the characters in this book must address long-buried secrets or continue living in the uncomfortable matrix they created. Only they can decide what their future will bring."Title: Hard Conversations

"Hard Conversations: Book 1: Breadcrumbs to the Past" by BJ Communicates
My Opinion:
'Hard Conversation' has five short stories that give us 'Breadcrumbs to the Past' Book 1 and leave us with Cliffhangers which means the reader will have to wait to get the other half or part of the story.
So the story starts ...
'I Don't Know Her' Will this person be able to find out the answers he needs from his birth mom Barbara? Is this the reason he is having so much trouble with the way his life is going for him?
next...
'No More Sunday Dinner'
After what Shay Robinson had to endure from her uncle, will she finally be able to come back to Houston after the death of her Mamma Hattie and confront Uncle Frank for what he had done to her at the age of eight?
next...
'Angel Dust and Guitars'
With what had gone on in this family, would Angel Christopher ever want a family of his own? First, his father beat his mom, and he wanted nothing to do with him. Then Angel meets Lisa, things changed, and after she becomes pregnant, they decide to make it work... When he returns home, guess who is waiting for him...his father wanting to talk; however, he was someone Angel didn't want to speak with under any circumstances.
next...
'Another Life'
He was supposed to be a perfect and wonderful father, but Jamal Jackson had a big secret, and Trina finds out about it while attending Fisk when she hooks up with a tutor that was her look alike. What was up with that? What will the DNA prove? What will happen at Kim's graduation when Trina confronts her dad and says, 'Hi, dad.'
and lastly...
'Broken Silence'
Due to a fight with his wife at their home caused by her father, Maxine was paralyzed due to a fall and ended her in a wheelchair. After serving many years in prison, he got out due to good behavior and wanted to talk with his daughter, which she had refused many times.
Her mother had suddenly taken ill and was taken to the hospital where Maxine came to see her only who do you think was there at the hospital? Well, I guess her father got his answer for Maxine was adamant when she said...'No Stop, I am not ready for this.'
As was stated earlier, this novel, Book 1, was a cliffhanger of sorts, so I guess we will get the rest of the story in Book 2. Be ready for well-written stories that will leave the reader only wanting more answers to their ending.
