Reviews
Black Ponds is a gripping and emotionally intense novel, marked by powerful storytelling that follows a young girl’s escape from the horrors of domestic violence. Determined to survive, she takes drastic action to break free and, along the way, reconnects with old friends from her past while forming new, supportive bonds. These friendships become vital as she heals and rebuilds her life. A standout element of the novel is her brilliant business idea, which symbolizes her resilience and drive to create a fresh start. Heartfelt, inspiring, and empowering, Black Ponds is a poignant reminder of the strength within us all to overcome adversity and embrace happiness. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it and was deeply moved by the protagonist’s journey. Linda S
