“Sometimes doing the right thing is more important than doing what’s safest,” he said. “I know I don’t have to explain that to you.”

A fantastic book that highlights black excellence in 1837! I enjoyed reading about narrative of budding black abolitionist living in Philadelphia, we don’t hear enough about how the wealthy black community was trying to end slavery their own way, and commingling with white folks to get to the end goal.

I thought this was a great debut novel. She does a fantastic job of writing multi-narration well and keeping the story flowing. I enjoyed reading this book from beginning to end.
