Wow. This is an excellent book which weaves a story of Liberian American family history through generations. Parts of it are set in Minnesota, so those definitely hit hard. Parts of it are set in Liberia, which opened my eyes to the lack of background knowledge I have regarding the colonization of Liberia by Freedmen and former slaves from the US. There is so much detail, depth, and nuance here. It would make an excellent book club book.
