Could’ve stood to be a bit longer. Might have helped some of the convenience feel some of it had.

3.5 a testament to a mother’s love and intuition. It started strong but kind of plateaued for me and never surprised me again…it was predictable. However it was A story of loss and life. I cannot fathom what it would have been like to live as a slave and to be taken away from my family or watch as my own children were taken from me… Rachel’s trauma and loss read heavy in each chapter but so was her hope and will to move on. It was a good story…slow at times but meaningful.
