Sue Monk Kidd has written another great book. This one is THE INVENTION OF WINGS (2014). In it, she tells a story of life in the south just prior to the Civil War. In particular, the focus is on a young young black girl given to a privileged white girl as a gift on the occasion of her eleventh birthday. The immediate problem is that the eleven-year-old believes slavery is wrong and wants to set the other girl free, but this is not allowed. Both girls get to tell their stories in alternating chapters as they grow into womanhood and beyond. Great book!
