This fantastic new novel follows three generations of women in Michigan as they fight social issues of their day. Even though it's told in three different voices, the story melds together perfectly. The book is so well written and the characters so realistic that it's hard to believe that this is a debut novel. I can't wait to see what this author writes next.
It was very interesting to read a book with three women's voices looking at crucial times of war and racism. Mary fights against racism when she opens her farm to escaping slaves during the Civil War. Nora's struggles are set against the racism in Detroit in the 1960s and the Detroit riots. Elizabeth fights to bring their stories to light during the present day. Even though their times were turbulent, the three woman are strong. The main feelings that I got from this book were of strength, love and resilience in the face of adversity.
