How cool that it is partly set where you live. I am glad that the author chose to highlight a real person that might otherwise have been forgotten by history. I certainly hadn't heard of Sarah Grimke or her sister before I picked up the book. I found the historical details to be fascinating. Great review!Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.com
