4.0 AVERAGE


Starts a little slow, but quickly picks up pace to the point I couldn't put it down! I loved the intertwining of the two story lines. Everyone should experience a teacher like Benny Silva at least once in their education.

I did really like the story and the history behind it. However, there were many things going on and it got a bit confusing sometimes. At the same time, the story could get a little bit boring.

Really interesting piece of history I was completely unaware of before…former slaves putting ads out seeking long lost family. Amazing how it is woven into a modern story while so intricately covering the story in the 1800s as well.
