OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY by Telika Howard

by Wintress Odom
(Memphis, TN)

Out of the Miry Clay by Telika Howard is a refreshing new take on a book for young adults written to teach a lesson. It has a bold Christian theme that comes out when you least expect it. It's written in an urban style with characters so real that you begin to refer to them when the book is not even in your hand. It's about a young girl who lives in the inner city of Chicago who has a dream to sing. But eventually she learns that there is a difference between having a dream and having a purpose in life. Out of the Miry Clay will pleasantly surprise you and is a trip out of the ordinary.
