My Reviews
The book is full of layers of discussion. One question that came back to me is what is an American - defined by race, creed or the length that you live in the United States? How do we handle adversity? When do we come together as one voice? Until you walk in their shoes we will not know and there where a lot of shoes to walk in with this book.
Loved the book - it brought back the time when our country had just problems. It shows how far we have come and also how little has changed.
Wish I had known at the beginning of the book that the main characters where real. It is told from both the perspective of the two different cultures. The Slave Owners and the Slaves. The period of that time is probably accurately portrayed.
It was quirky and wonderful.
If you ever wondered what you personally would do in WW2 - Read this book - the lengths the Mother goes to save and try and raise her baby is amazing. Makes you think of how many other untold stories are there.
