Seeds of Bitterness is the tenth book in Dr. Charlotte Johnson's series of motivational text. Dr. Johnson is able to use the metaphor of a seed of bitterness to explain how forgiveness and resentment can grow if not resolved. Revenge, retribution, our misguided attempts to ensure others are accountable for their actions, emotional blackmail, and other psychological tools or weapons to restore balance with those who have wronged us, can serve as fertilizer for our seeds of bitterness.The novel is Dr. Johnson's exploration into the reason and causes for her current circumstances. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and President Barack Obama's memoir, Dreams from My Father offered similar narratives of self-exploration. The story is told from (the narrator's) Dr. Johnson's present as she delves into her past. Thus, the narrator has hindsight in how her story is told, as she is already aware of the outcome.Dr. Johnson is able to master traditional literary techniques to provide her readers with clear and concise descriptions of factual events, while providing the passion and excitement of modern television dramas such as ABC's Revenge based on Alexandre Dumas's novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. I found myself riveted by Dr. Johnson's struggle to identify her actions and true motivations and how this impacts her sense of self and others. She enlists the aid of her trusted friends and family members in her narrative; the impact on their lives is documented. She contemplates how she will proceed forward after making startling revelations about herself and others.The book offers guidance on acceptance, forgiveness, and growth. After Oil for the Wounded, Dr. Johnson took a three-year hiatus from writing and returns with a fresh and vibrant infusion to her prose. This novel delves further into self-exploration of the cause of emotional stress and traumas and their impact on our growth but offers an even grittier and stark approach that leads the reader to self-examine their own pain and role in retaining and deifying it. Several major characters are written out of the series in this book. This leads to Dr. Johnson's exegesis.The book offers guidance on acceptance, forgiveness, and growth.

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, but no one prior to Dr. Johnson has pointed out so poignantly how it chills the body and the soul with bitterness. Dr. Johnson offers hope for the hopeless, and joy in the midst of sorrow, for those willing to face themselves in the mirror and to do the work needed.

Mama's Pearls is the sixth book in author Charlotte Johnson s series of motivational text. This book is a very poignant chronicle of the faith, wit, and the down home charm of Ms. Johnson's mother, Evelyn Russell. Loyal fans of Dr. Johnson have already developed a feeling of closeness to her mother, affectionately called Mother Russell. Throughout Dr. Johnson s books, her mother serves as a spiritual mentor teaching her about love and redemption through her selfless love. Mother Russell loves, when it seems that her daughter is beyond change and is unwilling to embrace her mother s instructions. Mother Russell is a paradox. She is both a spiritually mature student of the Bible, while maintaining her down home folksy charm, sharp tongue, and nostalgic stories of her youth that serve to entertain the reader. These stories offer inspiration, encouragement, hope, and motivation. More importantly, these oral traditions serve as method of handing down the wisdom of times past. A mother's love can be essential to a child s emotional well-being and character development. Charlotte Johnson shares her mother with the world to offer hope and encouragement in troubled times. This book is excellent for those in need of hope, seeking a miracle, searching for a way to maintain their faith, or looking for an uplifting and humorous book. Mother Russell grew up in a family where oral storytelling was a method of passing family wisdom and traditions to the younger generations. She passed these stories onto her children. These stories are a combination of Mother Russell s life experiences and oral traditions passed from her father. My heart was touched when Dr. Johnson wrote earlier in her series, Mama why do you still care? Mama s Pearl answers why a mother still cares when all hope is gone and the world has given up on her child. As Dr. Johnson explores her family s past in order to bring light and perspective to the present, Mama's Pearls is reminiscent of Alex Haley's Roots.

A Journey to Hell and Back: The Flip Side is the third text in author Charlotte Russell Johnson's series of motivational books. Ms. Johnson true to form has developed a surprisingly unique book. The two major characters alternate narration of the story. This literary technique serves to mesmerize and hold the reader spellbound. Two separate individuals on parallel descents into hell collide violently, the force of which serves as a catalyst to accelerate their demise. Then just as all visible signs of hope evaporate, in a surprising plot twist surpassing Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, the text evolves into a completely different direction.The Flip Side expands on Dr. Johnson 's previous text, A Journey to Hell and Back, an autobiographical account of the author's life. The Flip Side further explores the author's life, while also giving the parallel and sometimes contrasting account of Dr. Johnson 's husband, Henry. The text begins with the lives of two separate individuals in preparation for their first encounter and then chronicles their following union. This book is appealing to a wide and varied audience, including those preparing for marriage, divorce, raising a family, or a part of a family, involved in or getting out of a relationship, recovering from past mistakes, parenting, or in contact with any of these groups. This book humorously pokes fun at life's everyday problems. The Johnsons provide unique and sometimes competing perspectives of their life together. The text provides an insightfully honest portrait of the differing perspectives of a married couple. The varying interpretations of major events serve to keep the reader enchanted with the text. After reading this text the reader will wonder how often they have misunderstood the intention of others. The Johnson's invite you to decide what is the actual truth. They say there are two versions of every story and then there's the truth.
