The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate
4.0

4.5 Loved this story - two different voices, a former slave in 1875 and an English teacher in 1987. Loved all the characters and learning more about the real "Lost Friends."

A few of my favorite lines: "It's history...I'm trying to impress upon my students that everyone has a history. Just because we're not always happy with what's true doesn't mean we shouldn't know it."

"We can put a man on the moon, fly shuttles back and forth to outer space...and yet we can't traverse the boundaries in the human heart, fix what's wrong."

"Augustine has taught me that the past travels with you. It's whether you run from it or learn from it that makes all the difference."
