Mustard Seed
by Laila Ibrahim
This was really good, but it just made me SO angry! I already knew that the slave trade was monstrously horrific, even though I feel as though that description does not do justice of how bad it actually was. And I know this story is fiction, but things like this would have happened, so to read about white people's attitudes towards black people at that time, and even after slavery was abolished, is just harrowing and heartbreaking. Having said that though, it also shows how strong and resourceful people can and will be in the face of evil. I really enjoyed this from start to finish.
