I loved Yellow Crocus so I was tickled to see it was the first of a trio. Mustard Seeds begins about 10 years after Yellow Crocus ends and brings Mattie and Lisbeth together again as they both set out for Richmond to deal with family issues.
I found this to be a fascinating read in the sense that I’ve only read a handful of books that take place immediately after the Civil War. Seeing how the black people were still treated was infuriating. I loved that things that I learned about in The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate were mentioned here and I loved the message of people with whom you share blood aren’t necessarily your family.
This is truly a great follow up for Yellow Crocus and provides an impressive history lesson at the same time.
