Reap: The Bible Belt Series
Alabama 1931:Annie Lawson thanked the Lord everyday for the life she and her husband, Sam, had made for themselves as sharecroppers on the Moore plantation. They were even more blessed to raise their granddaughter Liz, a bright, observant, book-loving girl who longed to continue her education past the primary grades. But when Mary Moore decides she wants Liz to drop out of school and become her private maid, Annie calls on her friends, the Miller siblings, to save Liz without risking eviction for her family.
As they work out a plan to free Liz from Mary Moore's clutches and secret her off the plantation, the Millers reach deep into the pain of their past, harkening back to the 1870s and confronting the moment when Bill Moore altered their lives forever. As an influential and powerful white man in the deep south, Bill was never charged for his crimes, leaving the Millers devastated and forever caught in the shadow of his vile act.
Discover how decades of simmering evil come to a boil in Reap, Tiffani Quarles-Sanders' latest book. For Bill Moore, the lesson is A man will reap what he has sown.

Powerful Read
I enjoyed traveling back in time reading this story. The author, as usual, wrote a compelling story. She did a wonderful job reminding the reader that community is everything. Looking forward to more stories by this author.

One of my favorite writers. I had high hopes for this one but unfortunately it didn’t really do it for me. It seemed long, but short. There wasn’t many deep details that allowed a deep connection with characters.
The main thing that made it difficult for me was the language and tone. The dialect did not reflect the time
period.
It was also a bit predictable, I felt like I was just waiting on what I knew was going to happen at different points throughout the story
I have so many questions…
What was Liz’s relationship with her mama?
Why was he chosen for representative?
Why was there no mention of Anne’s other kids and grandkids?
How was Claire able to escape work in the big house?
Did Helen ever make it down south and did she have the baby?
How did Bill Moore not know his son was a biracial man?
Where did the schools funding come from?
There was so much to be desired. Little things yes… yet, they would have made the story a bit more personable.
