Customer Reviews

I loved this book.

The author's beautifully determined words grabbed my heart from page one. It should be required reading in American history classes. I especially enjoyed Isabella's consciousness -- i.e.,personal relationship God/Higher Power in the true sense of the word.

An amazing, moving book

Comparable to Toni Morrison's BELOVED in its lyrical, beautifully rendered prose and sense of time and place. I learned so much from this moving, ultimately uplifting book. A masterpiece.
