Summer Reading Club Adult Division First Entry

Time once again to enter reviews at the library summer reading club:

Sammy Davis, Jr.: A Personal Journey With My Father, by Tracey Davis, portrays Tracey Davis from the perspective of time.  In 1990 as she frequently was with her father while she was pregnant and he had cancer.  Her father lived to meet the grandchild.  Twenty-five years gave her experience to reflect on that time.  The details of the stories Sammy Davis shared with her make the narration of the story, supported by many photographs.  The author, with Nina Bunche Pierce as a co-author, must have always been sure it was wonderful that she had given care to her father and she must have wanted to express this as an example to others.  Ms. Davis wrote an earlier book about her family.  Sammy Davis, Jr.: A Personal Journey With My Father, is a wonderful contribution to the collections and biographies about her father, Mr. Entertainment.
