It is a slow book, but it is beautiful.
Hannah has such a great skill in telling stories while the backdrop tells another. This is a story of a mother and her children. This is a story about the Great Depression. This is a story about finding yourself and reclaiming your own identity. It is also a story about farmers and activists. This is a story about power and sisterhood and personal growth through pain. And it is a love letter to the south and those who have learned resilience and courage through making the south their home.
