Wonderful and interesting Historical Fiction book about an independent Black Female entrepreneur with spirit and softness. This book will definitely make readers curious about the real J. Leary or the countless other women who have lived extraordinary lives, but I’ve been left out of the history books. Every time I read a book about a woman overlooked or left out of history, my heart soars.

While not a happy perfect ending, the determination and wit of the protagonist is inspiring to me even in 2022.

4 stars because while enjoyed the read, it felt like something was missing.
