This was appallingly predicted. Stereotypical of the interpretation of thesituation during the time of slavery into sentimental pap. I picked this book up in error. If you want to know about black history, this historical fiction will not give it to you. Of course, lovely happy ending for the black slaves and ‘effectively’ whites burned at the stake.
