Historical fiction is not my favorite genre. Despite the wealth of history to choose from, most authors end up retelling the same story. After reading the author’s introduction and the first chapter I can immediately tell that this book stands apart. Chicago is often overlooked in literature despite its rich history and historical leaders, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it being featured. I’m also attracted to the lesser known stories of wealthy African American families of the past. A fresh look at a forgotten (overlooked) past, I can’t wait to read the rest!
