The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate
4.0

Very interesting: in the late 1800s through early 1900s, the Southwestern Christian Advocate featured a "Lost Friends" section for people searching for loved ones lost to slavery. I wish that I could find information on how successful the ads proved to be—even if just anecdotal.
