Unconditional Love (2012,186 pages) by Dr. Lela Haynes Session and Cynthia Session (MSW). This did not make my 50-page cut. I stopped reading at page 46. This left me wondering how this book ended up in my library. Did the coauthor Cynthia Hughes (MSW) and I cross paths at one point in time? The story reads like a beautiful obituary of Dr. Lela Haynes Session’s life with countless friends, family, and community writing her letters of gratitude and thanks. From what I could gather, she had sent out a form letter asking for letters and their permission to publish them in her book. After pages of letters, there is no clear introduction to who Dr. Haynes Session is, other than a kind woman. Nor was there any clear indicator of what she was a doctor of. In my reading I gathered it was of education, a quick Google search reveals she was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in 1967. I wish I could return this novel to the family of Dr. Haynes Session, but since I cannot, I will place it in my neighborhood free library with the hope someone will appreciate it for what it is meant to be.
