This was a deeply moving dedication to Louella Montgomery, and the historical note at the end! The list of resources! This history student is so appreciative!
I read this as part of my lineup for Black History Month and quickly added it to my list of staple historical-fic recommendations. This is a story of hope and resilience, dignity and great love. There are parts that will be painful to read, but as our US history is inseverable to brutality, it is vital to not turn away.
Narrator Angel Pean not only embodies characters with dynamic animation, but performs the soulful songs and brings the story to absolute life. Thank you Libro.fm for the advance listening copy.
