this book was amazing. the main character was so strong and bold. i love her strength and perseverance. it was an emotional rollercoaster but because there was always hope you kept going just like these people kept going. the story takes place around the end of the civil war and into reconstruction so it discusses slavery, lynching, passing, jim crow laws, death etc. idk how people did anything back then, simply amazing. what made this books even better was the authors note and learning this was based on a true story!
