Book 63 of 2022
I loved the story of Josephine Leary. She was a boss! She built up her wealth and properties with grace.
The writing style made me forget that this story began during slavery and took place through the emancipation and the years that followed. The characters all sounded educated. They never encountered any real racial issues even though they lived in North Carolina. And Jo accomplished major things as a black woman in those times. That part made it seem less real.
The story was good but it moved extremely slow.
I would read more from this author.
