I obtained this advanced copy from netgalley for an honest review
This was an amazing story. The amount of trauma that that these people went through is unbelievable. I can’t imagine walking from Mississippi to South Carolina in search of belonging and true freedom. But they had to deal with so much to make it.
Louella was something else. Very strong willed. She definitely has the heart for the people with a touch of stubbornness as well. A lot of times she didn’t want to listen to what her husband was saying but he has the patience to deal with her.
William was a man of faith who looked out for all of their followers. He kept being positive even when he should have been more cautious. He kept seeing the good in that brother of his and that truly irked me.
Robert was a selfish man. He got a little redemption however he was the cause of a lot of their turmoil in the end. And I truly hated that. These people worked hard to build their homes and be there for one another for some men to come up and try to take the land from them. I truly hated that but understand that is how things are. Even today. They will do all they can to take.
Overall I enjoyed this story. Glad to have learned about this being that I am a North Carolinian.
