Essentially, this is a white liberal mom's struggle to justify the fact that she and Dylan Roof belong to the same mainstream Christian denomination. Limited interviews and analysis. As a Minnesotan myself, I can say that Denker tells half-truths about the history of events in the state--though I have no doubt that she believes she is telling the whole truth.

This book was seemingling written as a white liberal woman's attempt to check all the "woke" boxes so that she could say to other white liberal women: See? I'm not like Roof!

A prime example of this is that one of the main examples that she uses for a man who is handling American boyhood well is a transgender individual. Seriously?!? Well, I guess it checks off a box.

I have much more that I could say against this book, but I don't want to spend any more time with it.

Although the subtitle suggests the book is geared towards writing non-fiction, there is much helpful information that will aid writers of both non-fiction and fiction books. There are many good tips that will assist a writer in all parts of the book-writing process.

This book describes itself as containing "advanced tools and techniques", but the contents are very bare bones, reading more like an outline of a book than of a book itself. The best part of the book is the "further reading" section, which contains a bibliography that may help a researcher looking for actual advanced tools and techniques.

This book is a great reference for an aspiring blacksmith. It contains information on the layout of the forge shop, tool descriptions, smithing basics and explanations of different metal types, and projects for a beginner smith. A great reference guide for anyone interested in blacksmithing.
