It's heartbreaking that the things in this book were the reality of so many people at the time, the way they were treated, spoken to and thought of is dispicable.

For such a short book this spans many years, but given the shortness there are a lot of jumps in time and a lot of glossing over events. It could have been improved by a bit of fleshing out.

The narration for this was excellent, with Bahni Turpin nailing the southern accents.
