This book absolutely will not disappoint! The story travels from present day to 1960s to 1860s as it reveals family secrets. Present day journalist Elizabeth Balsam is given an unusual assignment that intrigues her. Little does she suspect that it will lead to unearthing deeply kept family secrets and to solving a mystery that's fifty years old. Written in a first person narrative this book is verbally scrumptious and you will not want to put it down. Vivid, heart rending stories from the civil rights movement will stun and shock you. Then as the reader travels down the road back to the Civil War days the unrest, terror and uncertainty of the times will feel very real. Elizabeth is an endearing and multi-faceted character that deserves exploring through the pages of the book. Through these characters the hard choices those trying to make an end to slavery and racial injustice faced come to life. And one must ask the question what would I do for love?
I received this book from the publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
