The story is amazing, it pulls you in and keeps you interested.

What a heart twister. Very, very good. I now need to read more from Danielle Stewart!

I am so glad I read this emotionally charged story. I felt a lot of it and in this felt like I was living in it. A roll of toilet paper later and plenty of shed tears it felt good to read the emotional side of such a horrible time in this world. Cheers to the writer for touching my heart and soul!

I enjoyed how the story unfolded

This story is told simply and beautifully. It’s a must read for everyone.

What a book! My heart broke at the cruel people,family’s and how people were so mean both white and black. It was a amazing story.

A fictional account of the history of racism in the US has affected me just as much as Caste, The Color of Law, The Yellow Wife, How to Be An AntiRacist have. It was enjoyable in the same way as The Warmth of Other Suns was for me. I’m a privileged white woman who is pretty far along on the journey to become an effective anti racism activist. Reading this just spurs me on and I think other white people would enjoy a non-political read about Jim Crow and the shame of that systemically racist culture. I couldn’t put it down. I wouldn’t change a word.

This book takes Betty back to her childhood. It was a great read. I cried during some chapters. The book paints a dark picture of life in the south in the 60’s. You tend to think a small southern town would have been more immune to the racism, not the center of it. It was an ugly time in America, yet 3 children found a way through it to love and forgiveness.

Unbelievable that people actually had to live with such hatred. Very well told.

Took a while to set up, so glad I stuck with it.
