Promise by Rachel Eliza Griffiths

4.0

4.5= This was a powerful read and I don’t think I’ve been this affected by a novel in a while. I had to take a lot of breaks while reading, because of the horrific racism that takes place and still I was emotionally exhausted after finishing this book.

It’s a beautifully written story, but so brutal and honest. There is a lot of violence, racism, and death but on the flip side you have faith, courage, wisdom, love, and strength.

I’d recommend this to those historical fiction readers who can handle the reality of what has truly happened in this country.
