The Book of Negroes

The Book of Negros by Lawrence Hillby Lawrence Hill

I am on such a roll with excellent books - thanks in large part to my good friend Karen.  This was another story about someone courageous - my favorite kind of book.  I honestly, could not put it down.

It is the story of a woman who was taken from Africa as a child and sold into slavery and her remarkable life's journey. I loved it from the first word until the last.

Read it - you will love it too.

  1. Your book recommendation sounds intriguing! I am currently reading Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I haven't gotten too far yet; it requires me to THINK while I read. I do have to confess, I DEVOURED "Spider Bones" by Kathy Reich yesterday.She is the writer who created the TV show "Bones". Crime fiction is one of my "secret" escapes that most wouldn't expect from me!!
