Review of Naked Truth
Posted: 27 Nov 2021, 13:39
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Naked Truth" by Jean D Francis, Ph.D.]
The workplace environment determines employees’ motivation. For instance, an employee's motivation is likely to increase in a friendly environment. The reverse is also true. Employers should strive to treat all employees equally regardless of their race, religious beliefs, or gender. They should instead look at each employee's potential at the workplace and motivate them to work harder in order to achieve the firm's goals. Naked Truth by Jean D. Francis is a non-fictional novel about workplace discrimination, harassment, and a hostile work environment.
Jean Francis works for the federal government of America under the department of labor. Although Jean works hard and is qualified for certain positions in her workplace, she is discriminated against because of her religious beliefs. She confidently tells her employers that she can work extra hard from Monday to Friday. However, on Saturday, she has to observe the sabbath and, therefore, cannot come to work. Instead, she was willing to work on Sunday. This makes her employers to start treating her differently, and, at one time, they even tell her that had they known that she is such a staunch believer, they would not have employed her. She experiences a hostile work environment, and her employers come up with all types of excuses and make sure that she is fired for no apparent reason. Since Jean isn't the kind of person who gives up quickly, she finds another job. However, although she had hoped to get a fresh start at this new workplace, she faces severe discrimination; she is treated like an outcast because she is black. Jean's health is affected because of these discriminations. Because of all these injustices, she decides to look for justice. Will she find justice?
This book has three hundred and twenty-seven pages. It is divided into three parts, which are further divided into thirty-two chapters. Towards the end of the book, the author acknowledges some of the inspirations for this book. The book finally ends with an epilogue whereby the author advises people who may have similar situations. The story is mainly told from the first person's point of view, and it uses both the past and the present tenses.
I liked several things about this book. First, I liked how the author inserted several colorful pictures in the book. This made the book visually appealing. Among the photographs were documents that authenticate her claims. This made the story more believable. Second, I liked how the author used foreshadow by showing the readers some dialogues which would come later. Third, the creative use of suspense throughout the book kept me hooked in anticipation of what would happen next. Since I didn't find any grammatical errors while reading, this book was exceptionally edited.
In conclusion, there is nothing I disliked about the book. I, therefore, rate it four out of four stars. I recommend it to anyone who may have gone through or is currently going through a hostile work environment, racism, or religious discrimination.
