My Thoughts:
All I can say is… Wow, what a journey.
When I agreed to review this book and picked it up for the first time, I had no idea what would be waiting for me between the pages. This was a fantastic story. It’s more than the stories of the three women listed on the back cover: Grace, Emmeline, and Sarah. It’s the journey of a dozen characters – living, breathing characters that jump off the page and into your heart. As a reader, I felt their pain deeply and rejoiced when they triumphed over their circumstances.
I absolutely loved everything about this book. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite like it. I found it to be very authentic and well-researched. I felt like I’d slipped back in time to 1934 in Rhode Island. Alicia’s writing style is lyrical and haunting, perfect for the inspirational historical novel that she has penned.
Again, I truly enjoyed it. I’d give it ten stars if I could! Can’t wait to see her next book.
