Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
3.0
The ending lowered this book from a four to a three, I am not a fan of HEA BUT I do need the more to have a conclusion. I felt like the author was done writing and just quit.
Otherwise this gives a fictional recount of history that really happened in the 1850's. Slave owners took their slaves to a resort in Ohio and vacation like they were a couple. We see how four woman are treated by their owners, how each see themselves as slaves vrs wanting freedom and how society views them. This was well written, explored a lot of the turmoil of those times and was a great read except for the horrible ending
