FIVE STARS! Readers’ Favorite by Maureen Dangarembizi:
In the wake of the George Floyd incident and his unfortunate death, Dickie Erman’s Venus’ Story paints a tragic yet hopeful picture … being a black person myself who has many white friends … I found myself touched by the many epic scenes that portray love and kindness in the most poignant ways.
It reinforces the idea that evil is not found in a particular race but wherever greed, jealousy, and lust are allowed to flourish.
Humanity may yet survive to see an age of peace and understanding if we could learn from the wealth of lessons this story teaches. A must-read story for anyone looking for a dose of reality.

FIVE STARS! READERS’ FAVORITE by K.C. Finn:

Author Dickie Erman has crafted a beautifully moving work of drama and a historically accurate personal viewpoint, and this is an important story for everyone as we continue to learn about the experience and hardship of slavery.

It is clear that Dickie Erman is an author who not only does excellent and detailed historical research but connects with the characters on a deeply emotive level to bring authentic voices to life.

I would highly recommend Venus’ Story to readers from all walks of life as an educational and powerful historical and cultural read.
