I gave this book 2.5 stars.

I have thoughts on I this book. I will post them later when I have had time to sleep.

Mind. Blown....Holy Catwoman! Everyone must read this, NOW!

I tried to read this after having loved [b: The Book of Negroes|23316548|The Book of Negroes|Lawrence Hill|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417983381s/23316548.jpg|860779], but the character development in this book just wasn't there and the entitled attitude of the father didn't help either. Maybe one day, I'll finish it. I got 100 pages in and dnf-ed.

This book gave an in-depth look at what it meant to fight for your right to be a person and a woman during Haitian & American Slavery. If you love an epic drama or a book about characters with loose morals, look no further!
