I downloaded this book for my Kindle because it was free. A challenge was issued at the end of April to read a book(s) with a flower(s) in the titles. This was the second challenge book I read this month, and I'm so grateful for the challenge because I'm not sure if/when I'd ever have gotten around to reading this delightful story.
Mattie is a wet nurse who cares for Lisbeth from the time she's born. We see the affection this child has for this slave, preferring her over her own mother more often than not. The two have a very special relationship, and it's that bond that really is the basis for the decisions Lisabeth begins to make in her life once she's old enough to do so.
I could not put this book down. It's not my typical kind of read, but it is such a beautiful story. I implore you to read it!
