Harriet, Book 3 in Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin series
An entertaining, quick read.
A previous review, submitted by Vivian Garnett on Dec. 30, 2017, contains a spoiler that, as it turns out, is incorrect. This review should be edited so as to not incorrectly inform potential readers. Spoilers, correct or not, should be hidden.
I am glad I read the book despite Ms. Garnett's spoiler. It is a glimpse into the not-so-distant past of Eliza, wife of George and a slave on the Shelby plantation.

Book 3 in the series
Good book. It did leave a lot of questions at the end and not sure if this series is continuing after book three of not. It did give an alternate ending to the first book which was also good and would have taken the series in a whole other direction. Kinda wish the alternate ending would have been used for a while different series. Hope this series continues as I would love to see how George and his family turn out.
