Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird
4.0
4.5 Stars
I actually wished that my train ride was longer while I was reading this so I could finish it...it had me hooked. A fictionalized version of a true story, Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen is the type of book you just wish could be taught in schools so young people, especially young women, can discuss the history behind it and find an incredible role model in Cathy Williams. Not only is it a powerful story, but the writing is excellent, enveloping you in the action and taking you along for a ride with the cavalry. This book made me snort from laughing, dramatically (but authentically) slap my hand over my mouth in disbelief, and mutter "no no no nope, what the hell?" under my breath all in the course of one (very long) subway ride. Highly recommend.
