Trouble Don't Last by Shelley Pearsall

5.0

I really enjoyed this book! Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. I think this book offered a great insight into the lives of enslaved people- it definitely doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles of those working on a plantation, those trying to run away, and even those with their free papers. I like how the author pulled from true stories written in accounts from the Underground Railroad and meshed this together with her own fictional creation.
