Today I'm joined with my very first guest, Dr. Robert M. Copeland Ed. D. I'm super excited!
We are discussing his book The Synchronization of Life.
The Synchronization of Life is an American story. It resonates across racial and ethnic lines as the author, Robert McDaniel Copeland, takes oral family tales and creates a novel that all can relate to. Copeland intertwines two distinct and unique, spiritual, and sometimes dysfunctional interactions that were a part of creating many generations of his family that were to follow inclusive of himself. It is a story of an African American family's struggle to define itself from the era of post reconstruction to the modern-day era of civil rights in colorism and "passing" that many African American families have had to address within their family dynamic. The concept of synchronicity resonates and permeates throughout the novel. The characters in the novel are relatable and the reader finds themselves captivated by them as they could imagine them being a part of their own family's experience. Copeland's family becomes our family. The novel is powerful as the author attempts to help us, as the reader, celebrate our commonalities and explore our differences in the human space.
