River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer
3.75
I was into this book for a long time but then it really started dragging.
I generally read WWII historical fiction and this year I wanted to branch out. So this is the first I've read of this era or about slavery in general.
The story as a whole was fantastic. I loved the idea of a slave running away and finding out where all her kids are. I feel like that's something that's very realistic. I also loved a lot of the people she met along the way.
This was a great debut! Emotional at times and I actually teared up some. I can't wait to see what Shearer comes out right next!
