Illuminating. Stark poverty. The compassion and bravery of Cussy Mary and the power Jackson Lovett’s love for her to find a new life together against a backdrop of intolerance
Great Historical Fiction. Well researched. Wonderful book to reflect on our own bias. Great discussion on prejudices! Highly recommend for anyone who likes historical fiction. Kentucky history that can be used for any history class in any state! Some of Depression Era public works projects I wasn’t aware of!
One of the best historical fiction novels I have ever read. It was a heart warming, edge of your seat read that I couldn't put down. I can't wait to read the second book.
