An amazing read! This reinforces the unity of women no matter what their color. The story revolves around the courage and strength of a motherless little girl being left with a heartless, bitter father with only the love of a colored hired hand turned housekeeper to sustain her need of being loved and wanted. Until while on the run from the law after saving the housekeeper from racists that would surely kill her in jail, she finds not only her mother's heartbreaking past and refuge but her own. Very mesmerizing, totally engrossing....an excellent reading experience!
