I have had "The Emergent" on my TBR pile since we met Nick Holmberg and his wife at the Urbandale library earlier this year.
Nick clearly has a heart for writing stories that will make an impact. This one is not a tale for the faint of heart. Nick is a white male writing about the experiences of those that are not white male, but he has spent years of research and has produced a work that is worthy of our time.
I would recommend this book to anyone who reads to increase their awareness of the world around them. "The Emergent” is thought provoking and kept me engaged throughout the entire story.
