I devoured this excellent and well-researched historical fiction book in 2 days it was so compelling. In the vein of Alex Haley's classic Roots and Colton Whitehead's award-winning Underground Railroad, this large novel tells the shameful history of the slave trade and the tragic repercussions across generations in the lives of black Americans. The main character was fascinating and inspirational. Her story of survival is astounding and the events of history unbelievable, but shockingly true. Please read this book to understand the trauma our country was built upon and to guide your anti-racist actions in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
