What Readers are Saying About Fear, Faith, and Patience
“Media could not begin to capture the essence of this story. It’s gripping and challenging. It makes you think twice about the leaders we have in our public schools.”
“Fear, Faith, and Patience is one of those stories that we wish wouldn’t have happened. But even though it has, a person cannot deny the love this teacher had for her ‘scholars’ and education. Rarely do we see such active participation from one individual, and yet such a controversial story behind it all. It’s true what they say: ‘Media never tells the real story.’ I’m so glad that she had the courage to do it herself.”
“The school District would have never told the truth about what happened to her. I’m glad that she shared this experience with the public because it helps us see that not everything is as it seems.”
"For those that are facing despair, gloom, and a hopeless situation, this is a highly-recommended text that will surely bring encouragement to your souls. It is truly an astonishing book worthy of your time."
Review by Kate from read2review.com
True life fascinates me it must be said. I have been through so
much in my 30 years that to read about someone else makes me realise that hey
I’m not the only one who has had to overcome obstacles and if this person can do
it and face another day so can I.
When I was contacted to review Felicia’s book I have to admit I
had no idea who she was. The opening part of the book states that her story is
well known and covered. I was in the dark. So for me reading this was hearing
and seeing it for the first time.
The first thing I have to say is after reading this I will not
be looking into other sides of this story. I 100% believe Felicia. Reading about
her work with the coalition, how she worked hard to achieve so much and overcome
so many obstacles is nothing short of amazing.
I started reading this at 10pm and at 1am I finished it. I read
the whole time and my phone is testament to how much I was absorbed by the book,
so many missed messages!
Not much is said about the allegation that the student made
towards Felicia as the case is still in progress. I would be very interested to
learn more about what happened.
The first part of the book right up until the parts written,
very vaguely from 2010, was riveting. I felt that Felicia really cares about her
students and will do anything to protect them. A mark of an incredible teacher.
I was actually thinking at one point that this story would work so well on the
big screen. To help educate others and to share the story, I was reminded very
much of the film Freedom Writers that was also based on real life
events.
It is hard to read that still in 2008 there is segregation
towards minority people. Look around you, they aren’t so much of a minority
these days and everyone deserves equal opportunities. I whole heartedly applaud
Felicia for taking a stand.
I am very keen to read book 2 as I said above and would also like
to say on a personal level that Felicia gave me hope and reminded me that
although the turmoil I went through was impossible to deal with I must
never let them win.
I give Fear, Faith and Patience 5/5
