A review by deannah
Dreams of Savannah by Roseanna M. White

adventurous emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

A well-written and researched novel.  I would be super apprehensive as a white woman to write a novel set in the Civil War South with wealthy white protagonists.  I think there is just a whole lot of ways to be offensive and very few ways to be successful.  That being said, based on the acknowledgements at the end of the book, White had people read and give feedback to combat those particular pitfalls.  

There was a lot of heavy scripture quoting in this one, due to a preacher being a main character.
