Customer Reviews

Yellow Cro.

This book was a GREAT read. Once started, I couldn't stop reading wanting to know what happened next. Such a sweet story between two people. I'm ordering the next book by the same author. This needs to be a movie!!! Thanks so much for a story of hope and inspiration.

Great story

This book was about slaves and white people interactions in the south. It told a mother/daughter relationship story between a nanny and white child. I would recommend this book.

excellent read

One of the best books I've read in a long time. The story touched my heart. Loved the two main characters.

Love comes in all colors

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters come alive throughout. While this is a sad time in our history, I am glad that these days are over. The love shown through Mattie and Lisbeth is strong and true. We could all learn from them.

This was a very sweet story!

The characters were believable and relatable. The love shared between Marrie and Lisabeth was beautiful and I loved watching Lisabeth’s life choices shaped by the beliefsthat Mattie taught her. Beat book i have read in awhile! Strongly recommend!
