As a descendant of enslaved Black people in the South, this book tested my ability to keep listening. Just thinking of how my ancestors probably experienced or witnessed some of the situations mentioned made my heart ache. To think that the things mentioned in the book - and worse things - actually happened to real people is absolutely heartbreaking.
Books like this are so important because they tell the hard truths. They make you uncomfortable so you may grow in knowledge and compassion. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started listening but that's better in a way because I probably would have avoided starting the book because of the topics.
This was beautifully written and narrated. I'm not likely to forget this book anytime soon.
