Promise by Rachel Eliza Griffiths

3.0

This is about two sisters, Ezra and Cinthy, and their family trying to make it in this racist town called Salt Point. They and the Junketts are the only African Americans in this town. This is a story of love, courage, and hope. I wish the author would have given the readers a disclaimer about some of the “difficult” scenes in the story. Ezra had a best friend Ruby who was white and they did everything together. The themes were poverty, segregation, injustice, racism, and freedom. Overall the storyline was excellent. I love the beautiful cover - goes right with the storyline. I recommend this to readers who are history buffs. I give this book 3 stars.
