Oh my gosh, this book was so well written. I had it both on audible, as well as Kindle, and I had a hard time putting it down. The plot was heartbreaking. The characters were rememberable and realistic for the Audible narration, well enacted. This was a dark story and a part of the American history, that unfortunately, are still being played out in the U.S. today.
