The Indigo Girl by Natasha Boyd

White washed revisionist history that made me so uncomfortable. Could have been a cool story if told honestly, but this whole white savior “good slave owner” crap was ridiculous. The real Eliza owned over 280 slaves, she was not a savior but a businesswoman building an empire on the backs of enslaved people and then took all the credit and was recognized for it. Was it impressive she did a lot as a woman at that time and with her age? Yes. But let’s not pretend that gives her a pass for how she got there.

Hated the friendship with the Pinkneys, to then find out she was gonna marry him as soon as his wife died
