The bestselling author of Yellow Crocus returns with a haunting and tender story of three women returning to the plantation they once called home.

Oberlin, Ohio, 1868. Lisbeth Johnson was born into privilege in the antebellum South. Jordan Freedman was born a slave to Mattie, Lisbeth's beloved nurse. The women have an unlikely bond deeper than friendship. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth and Mattie are tending their homes and families while Jordan, an aspiring suffragette, teaches at an integrated school.

When Lisbeth discovers that her father is dying, she's summoned back to the Virginia plantation where she grew up. There she must face the Confederate family she betrayed by marrying an abolitionist. Jordan and Mattie return to Fair Oaks, too, to save the family they left behind, who still toil in oppression. For Lisbeth, it's a time for reconciliation. For Jordan and Mattie, it's time for liberation.

As the Johnsons and Freedmans confront the injustice that binds them, as well as the bitterness and violence that seethes at its heart, the women must find the courage to free their families - and themselves - from the past.

I bought this book because I enjoyed the performance of Bahni Turpin on Yellow Crocus. Enjoyed this book. A story of coincidences which shed a light on the post slavery world of the South. How the North failed the Southern blacks by not enjoining their full freedoms. How the inability of the former slave owners to accept the new reality set the stage for Jim Crow South. Stories of the displaced African Americans in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War are few. This help us to understand how black families fought to be reunified. We see the cost of war on both sides. See the genesis of the prison industrial complex that criminalise black men without cause with false accusations. How somethings have not changed even in the 21st century. We come to understand how slavery has define modern day USA even in 2021

Enjoyed this book especially the performance

I really do love the narrator of this book, she really does bring the book to life.

I read the first book Yellow Crocus in 2 days, which is really good for me, I can usually only finish a book in such a short time if it really captures my attention and the first book certainly did, I was gutted when I've got to the end, only to see there was a second book, I immediately bought it and started it straight away. like the first book, it did not disappoint!

if you are looking to try a different genre of book, I would highly recommend this book and yellow crocus, I doubt you will be disappointed!

another great read

Another moving narrative charting the characters shortly after the American Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. We follow Mattie, Elizabeth and their children, as they respond to events and family back in Virginia. Jordan’s personal journey of self-discovery was notable.

The excellent narrator brought this to life, showing the depths of characters from both sides of the conflict and conveying the tense drama. I’m off to read Book 3.

Excellent follow-on from Yellow Crocus

Having read the prequel, I was thrilled to discover this book. Captivating, heart breaking: this will take you through every emotion. Challenging at times, downright shocking and painful at others. I loved it, and I am already missing Mattie and Jordan. God bless everyone who suffered under the rule of slavery and its consequences, the ramifications of which are still very much present today.

Bahni reads as beautifully as Laila writes
