Every now and then I read a book to find out it is written by a first time author and it just takes my breath away. This is an amazing book and kept me up a couple of nights unable to sleep because I needed to keep reading. I was so deeply drawn into the story line. These characters feel like flesh and blood people. They will make you laugh at times, which is a challenge in itself given the book was written during the slavery period. Mostly I found my heart racing as this family clung together to protect each other as much as humanly possible throughout all their suffering...and then I cried. Absolutely loved!
