I loved this historical by Ann Shorey, a talented historical writer. I found myself unable to put the book down as I waited to see what would happen to Molly and her children. One of my favorite parts of this novel is the friendship between Molly and an African American slave she has had since childhood. Shorey's sensitive examination of their relationship is gripping and Molly's quest to give her friend freedom is one of the most compelling points of the novel. I am looking forward to more from this author.
