It is an emotional story which is well told and covers the major features of slavery and the power and attitude to slaves by their white owners." – Suncoast “It is very difficult to encapsulate the way of life in the American South in the 25 years leading up to the Civil War in a single novel. I could not put it down.the details of the deep and powerful relationship between a white girl and the black woman who nursed, raised her and saved her life- enabled me to stomach more of the realities of slavery and glimpse for moments about how folks managed those times." – N. “I was most surprised by how much beauty and pleasure I could find in a book which in large part is about slavery. It was a gentle way of filling in some the many gaps in my understanding of life in that period and it piqued my interest in learning more of the historical details from different points of view." – Karen Eng I felt as if I knew the families and shared their emotional journeys. It takes great skill to transport a reader into the narrative the way this author has. The story is riveting, accessible, and completely drew me in.
“This is clearly a labor of love for this first-time author.
The book 'told it like it is' when it comes to the relationship between mammies and the children they were forced to suckle and raise." – JustTiffany This book was very unbiased and was very factual in relating information on the society and communities in the south during slavery.
“As someone who majored in history with a concentration on African American history, I must say this book was awesome.
