TRENDY READING
‘Otherwise Untold’ by Kindra Hall Review by Dani Bennett
When I picked up the book “Otherwise Untold” by Kindra Hall, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I’ll admit, I tried to commit a reading crime by judging a book by its cover, but from what I could see, there was only a picture of a woman doing a normal activity in an abnormal way by ironing a dress after she put it on. She also wore a thoughtful yet lighthearted expression on her face. In no way is the cover of this book misleading. Throughout these short stories, the reader will notice that Hall uses a unique approach to life, then takes time to reflect and analyze the situation. Because the short stories are told in the first person, each one gives the reader a little insight into the mind that is Kindra Hall. We see the world through her perspective, and it really is a beautiful view. The way Hall can take an insignificant observation and turn it into a thought-provoking story is truly captivating. Not only does Hall write with clarity in a way that helps us relate, she also has a witty charm that is irresistible. While she tells stories of awkward situations and day-today life, she is actually teaching you how to appreciate the little things. Before you know it, you’ll find that you’re Hall’s biggest cheerleader, rooting her on from the sidelines as she tries to do that first pull-up in the fifth grade, or after she trips in front of a lady she wants to impress. She conveys the
