wvalice 's review for:
The Book of Lost Friends
by Lisa Wingate
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Told by Hannie Gossett, a freed slave in the 1880s, and Benny Silva, a first year teacher in Augustine, LA in the 1980’s, this story tells of the lives of freed slaves, searching for their lost families, and how those stories have changed the lives of generations.
Fascinating historical look in to the List Friends advertisements in newspapers - and how people never give up looking for who they belong to.
