A review by hijinx_abound
Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird

3.0

Parts of this book were so good. I loved that it was based on a real woman who served with the Buffalo soldiers. A woman with smarts and grit and a determination to make a better life for African American people after the civil war. She is stubborn and strong and intends to defy the odds. She sees such hope for the world after the civil war only to have her hopes dashed repeatedly.
What kept it from a higher rating was, in large part, the ending. I was frustrated and irritated with the last revelation and felt that it was a terrible way for her story to end. Of course that was just my opinion.
