This author's debut novel had me wanting to learn more about some of the elements in the story, which I think is a tribute to Ms. Perkins-Valdez's writing.

Well written, it's the story of a small group of slave women who come together once a year with their masters at a resort in (free) Ohio. As their collective story unfolds, you also learn their individual stories.

It's definitely worth the read... Not one of America's prouder moments, but one we need not to forget.

I highly recommend it.
