4.03 AVERAGE


Thoroughly enjoyed

I love finding a Historical Fiction on a topic or event I’ve never heard. This definitely left me falling down a rabbit hole of google with my 9 year old son. I love the personal story this book gives to the event. The stories of Lily and Augusta were interesting to follow and I loved their endings.

I had high anticipation of this book and really enjoyed it and read it in less than a day. I enjoyed the dual timeline and research of historic events as I can relate the process to current genealogy research.

Totally immersive read. I love Callahan’s voice, it keeps me turning pages and wanting to know “what’s next”.
