Mrs. Eriksson's Summer Reading Challenge 2015 discussion

A wonderfully told historical novel that brings to light a rarely talked about aspect of America's slavery past. White slave owner masters would take black slave mistresses and travel with them to Ohio to vacation. This novel tells the story of some of those mistresses who overcame their circumstances and some who did not. Painful to read and know this truth. Difficult to pick up each day and return to such a disgraceful past.
