Fake it ‘til you Make it might be the title of Ian C. Dawkins Moore's book of collected stories but the author is definitely making it big time. He is giving the reader the real deal on so many of life's situations that we would never know unless we read this book. He is writing about people I never knew about -who come out of other cultures or live in other countries. I feel I am getting an inside look at many worlds.

Irene's Song is about a Ghanaian woman who leaves Accra in search of her husband who went to work in the United States years before. The reader follows this innocent as she bumps up against the nourish life in the big cities of the states in her journey to find her husband.

The author is a wanderer as his stories take us all over the world. He is aware of the customs, the street and the people.

I enjoyed this book very much as it transported me into worlds I never knew. Thank you Ian C. Dawkins Moore.
