"We Hope For Better Things" is an amazing story covering multiple generations living in Detroit. Mary is alive during the Civil War time period and helps escaped slaves find freedom. Nora is living in Detroit during the Civil Rights Movement and the Detriot Riots, and Elizabeth is modern day reporter covering controversial issues.
All three women are related, great aunt and niece, and each woman lives in the same farmhouse as it has been passed down through the family.
This novel brilliantly captures the issue racism and how it affects each woman during her life. I found Mary's story to be the most captivating of the three. The book is thought provoking and moving. I was truly enlightened on the issues of racism and how although it has changed, we indeed, still, "Hope For Better Things."
A must read if you enjoy historical fiction!
