Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson

5.0

I was not prepared for the roller coaster of emotions this book would garner from me. Reading about Pheby Delores Brown and all that she endured was as triggering for me as watching Roots for the first time was. I found myself having to read only one chapter at a time, then taking a mental break to remind myself that it was just a book albeit rooted in a lot of truth. Historical fiction is not my typical genre to read, but I am thrilled that I broadened my reading horizon and read this book. Sadeqa Johnson did a magnificent job in weaving truth interspersed with the brilliance of her imagination. I gleefully look forward to reading more of her works in the very near future!
