 This book reads really fast because of the short chapters and engrossing characters.  It is a historical fiction novel based on the author’s family history.  The main characters are Henry, an Irish immigrant and Sarah, a slave in the American South.  In the description of the main characters’ lives the authors shows the similarities and stark differences in the conditions of Irish poverty and enslavement in America.  The author also gives an additional cast of characters: some you love, some cause you to roll your eyes at the page. 

This book is for those who enjoy historical fiction with a touch of romance.
