edennist 's review for:
The Book of Lost Friends
by Lisa Wingate
I learned so much from this book and I’m embarrassed that so much of this story was news to me. I never gave a thought to the fact that the families of Black people who were enslaved and broken up during the decades of slavery in this country would of COURSE fight to be reunited with their kin DECADES after the war. No textbook I ever had in school talked about the effects of enslavement in any detail. My only quibble with the book is that is yet another example of a “white savior” who swoops in and helps make things right.
