Thank you. I picked up useful tips on finances an relationships from these women.
I am intrigued that a 21st-century strong woman would get useful tips from like women in the 19th century. Even centuries later, women still have the same issues! I would very much like to experience that realization, Mercy Bolo!

Seems like a very good novel from your review. Just wondering: what caused you to take a star away? Was it the spelling issues?

I took the star away because of the editing issues. They especially come at the beginning of the book which might deter some readers.

More often than not, this turns out to be true. It is something that a lot of people can relate to.

This is an engaging review, especially the part about strong educated black women functioning during the times of slavery. I am inclined to read this book in the future.

for my first impression, It is a very thrilling story especially when it is a story about challenges in life. It can inspire people to accept that challenges in life will always come but you should know how to rise up and get back up. This story should be read by youth's especially when they're at the age to face circumstances and deciding their own path would be.
