It starts off slow but becomes a little eventful. Main character will have you mad the whole.

I couldn't put it down. So well written and the characters were developed. I love that's she gave a resolution. I will be recommending this to everyone. Love that it is inspired by the author learning about Mary Lumpkin and that she paid homage to former slaves.

Very accurate account of history of what it must have been to be a black woman. In the early 1900s. The lead character is a heroine, a mother, a friend, a lover and someone whom i's trapped. She is a great inspiration to all women of all ages of all times.
