5.0
Even though the themes covered by this book are some of the worst in our history, it was a majestic read.
I am so impressed by this story and the whole premise of this book, I was hooked from the very beginning. I wish there was more of it - the characters were so well developed that you felt you knew them, and my heart was broken many times, but also inspired. Freed.
